“The future ain't what it used to be.” - Yogi Berra
Have you noticed how predictions for the future have changed?
Back during the Cold War, the world was going to be destroyed by nuclear bombs. While we still have nuclear bombs, no one worries about them anymore. Unless terrorists get them...
Ironically, we had terrorists back during the Cold War, but nobody worried about them then (unless you lived in the Middle East).
We can always rely on the enviro-nazis to find a way in which humanity is ruining the planet. Back during the 1970's, it was global cooling. Now, it is global warming. Is anyone taking bets on how long it will take them to go back to global cooling? Regardless, the one constant is it will be mankind's fault. You know we are gods, right?
Of course, we can always count on the Christians to predict the second coming of Christ. Unfortunately, they keep pushing back the date. Some things never change.
