WHERE'S MY FLYING CAR????
Corpus Christi, TX Wednesday, June 3, 2009
When I look at today's date I get a feeling of other worldliness. How did the years change to this future from my childhood? Shouldn't there be: 1. no war, poverty, illness, illiteracy? 2. flying cars, raised roadbeds, concentrated urban areas surrounded by park-like green space for gardens & flowers? 3. regular flights to exotic spots on the moon?
That's pretty much what we were promised by prognosticators of the past. WHERE'S MY FLYING CAR???
Damn.
The onliest thing I see as a big, if misguided, difference between 2009 and 1959 is this:
we send the young & healthy to be killed while we keep the old & sickly on life support.
