How will history look at this period of time 50 years from now? |
|
I think we'll see the Constitutional face jobs done by Bush, Cheney, Asscrotch, Condescending Rice & Co. in much the same light we're seeing McCarthyism today, or the oppression of Japanese-Americans during WWII and cringe at how stupid this country could be.
That is, unless Bush & Co succeed in taking over everything and imposing a totalitarian corporate society and prevent us from thinking and speaking freely.
It's kind of scary to think where this country is economically and socially.

4. If there is a history to be written |
|
...it will record this time as a period when a large but vocal minority stoked on the ravings of a piss poor biblical scholar turned pulp novelist went completely insane and managed to dominate US politics, much the way the Nazis did in 30s Germany. http://www.rollingstone.com/features/nationalaffairs/featuregen.asp?pid=2771Be afraid.

6. I can't say what "history' will say |
|
but I hope that most of the young people who manage to make it to the year 2054 will look back and see this time as the best of their lives. A time when they rose to a challenge and defeated an enemy creating a better world for themselves and their children. I hope they can feel much the same as many of us in our fifties feel about the world as it was 50 years ago!

You stole my answer. I was just going to say the same thing, "We will all be dead". Probably some nuclear disaster to start the return of Bush's christ.
