And the next generation will leave even more in the ground for their next generation, ad infinitum. Should be worth a pile someday when the monkeys re-inherit it. I understand they like shiny things.

We are looking back on tomorrow.

I figure we are devolving to primitive simians at a furious rate. Just take a tour of housing projects and back streets of your major cities and get a picture of the future. It's not getting any richer or prettier. I swear in back alleys I hear cabals of dumpster denizens talking in grunts and see fleeting shadows of bent over figures dragging knuckles on the pavement.

100 years from now most people will be voting liberal. A mad socialist dictator with a name like Jingles will rule the world with an iron fist. The main mode of transport will be dog carts, wooden sticks will be the currency, and edukation will be compulsory to graid three. We will all live in tents, because anything to make houses from has to be mined and that will be outlawed by the ruling party, the Great Social Conspiracy.

I think we peaked technologically about 1934. It's been downhill from there. I don't think one person in 50 can do grade 11 math. Most can't program a TV to record a program, let along a VCR to stop flashing noon all day.

It's over, but it has been a grand ride.
