In the future, buying a weapon will be as easy as spotting an old hippie in today’s world.  But instead of looking for an old Volkswagen bus and the head of big hair, now gray and receding, you’ll simply have to keep your eyes open for a Pontiac Aztec.

In the future, the Pontiac Aztec will come of age.  Gun runners from all walks of life will embrace the Aztec.  They will appreciate it’s conservative fuel usage and it’s large, rear storage compartment.  But most of all, they will embrace the Aztec for its easily attached tent and awning, which not only does an excellent job of keeping rain and sun off of the rifles, handguns, grenades, and plastic explosives, but is quickly tucked away for a fast getaway.  A definite must in the future’s fast-paced world of black market weaponry.

In the future, special little children will attend highly sought out schools that sit in the center of every city.

The teachers will speak only in binary code, and only special little children who understand the code will be invited to attend.  The schools will all be white, with no apparent doors and only one window, where children not keeping pace will be made to sit before they are incinerated the following day.

The prestige surrounding the schools will be so great that parents will breed like rabbits, their only thought one of hope - that their special little child is never seen sitting in the only window, silently mouthing binary code, patiently waiting for tomorrow.

In the future, innocence will always be exposed as false.  Classic television will serve as valuable training films for what went wrong, and thousands of family photo albums will be on display around the country, documenting and carefully explaining the relationship and history that existed between crime and false innocence.

Classic photographs, such as these (circa 2004), will be used to explain everything from tardiness at work to road rage.

In the future, television shows will become obsolete.  For entertainment, people will receive live feeds from the nearest traffic intersection camera.  The cameras will be interactive, allowing people at home to see and talk with people on the street.  And all television remote controls will have voting buttons, giving viewers the power to rule on such things as traffic violations, accidents, and witnessed crimes.

And property values of large, suburban homes will plummet, due in large part to the success of the cameras.  The wealthy, seeking the entertainment of hectic, crime-infested neighborhoods with their well-placed cameras, will force the poor from the tiny, inner city apartments, relocating them, ironically, into the houses of their dreams.

In the future, the poor will soon come to realize that the dream of their lifetime has become nothing more then a long empty hallway.  They will pace back and forth with their children in tow, moving silently between television and window.  They will stare at a screen that never changes and a street corner that is forever silent, dreaming of a time when life felt more full.
