27 Things People from the Future Will Have a Hard Time Believing

[tannybogus]

The worse the present is, the more promising the future seems. And right now the future has never seemed better.

Chuck Klosterman once wrote that people would look back at this time and think that the only thing people could agree on is that Lindsay Lohan had perfectly spherical breasts. Well, I hope that people in the future will look back at us and not able to fathom all of the crap we got ourselves into.

Here’s what I hope people in the future will have a hard time believing about the beginning of the 21st century:

1. The executive branch would spy on citizens without warrants while refusing to respond to subpoenas from Congress.

2. We let corporations run our country even as they continually forced agendas that kept the population undereducated, without reliable health care and susceptible to the charms of charmless shit like America’s Got Talent and Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

3. We all drove around in cars that were kind of like really fast horses that shat poop that ruined the atmosphere.

4. Our entire society and economy revolved around these carbon-burning shitmobiles, and the only sort of activism we engaged in was lambasting anyone who tried to cut in front of us on the freeway.

5. Gay marriage was illegal, but divorce wasn’t.

6. It was pretty obvious that the Bush Administration was bent on attacking Iran before the end of its term, and nobody did anything to stop them.

7. Toby Maguire wasn’t yet recognized as the XXVIIth Dali Lama

I wonder what else they will have a hard time believing?

1. I like #9

9. In one century, we learned to fly. Then we went into space, to the moon and beyond. We created technology that could connect every person in the world—first by voice, then by pictures and then interactively through the Internet. Carriages became automobiles. Telegraphs became cell phones. And medicine increased life expectancy while improving the quality of life for people around the globe. But America still (sort of) elected George W. Bush twice.

4. We have a hard time understanding it now.

Those in the future will be stupified about Chimpy.

3. I hope that in the future that this list of issues will be hard to

understand why we allowed this type of govt.

5. I always thought that Lindsay Lohan's breasts were kinda uneven.

Regardless, I wouldn't touch that firecrotch with a 10 foot pole.
