In the 80s, I used to think that when I was an adult, we'd have hoverboards, and flying cars, and robot maids.
I'm so glad we don't have flying cars. Imagine 9/11 happens every week because some idiot was texting and driving.
I think there should be a rule that if we can go 5 years without a single person in the world crashing a car on the ground, then we can have flying cars.
People can't afford to keep cars running that stay on the ground.
9/11 was the day optimism died just look at star trek directly before and after with star trek enterprise and everything that came after it.
It was not what was done to America which was horrible. It was how we responded and continue to respond.
Oh, yeah, you're so right! Damn, that's a horrifying thought!
Edit: at least we have pocket porn slabs!
