So last night I was sitting with my niece at dinner, and a truck passes by and says "Vroom vroom! It's a truck! It's driving away!" and I didn't hesitate to say "vroom vroom! Pollute pollute!". Nobody at the table was impressed.

People are too optimistic. It's so overdone, that if hapiness was a drug, we'd all be smoking optimism. People seem to enjoy the fact that they can chug along in their cute little Honda's and ignore the environmental effect. And no matter how much the media is forcing into people's heads about global warming, people like to pretend it's not a big threat and it won't hurt them. It's disgusting.

I have hope for the future, but it depends if you're speaking of the future of human species. I think Rob Instigator has it spot on. We're like alcohol to the world. Once we it gets too much in it's system, it will puke us all out.

Want to see the future?

Go and rent the movie 'Idiocracy'... there lies your answer.

Mike Judge creator of Beavis & Butthead and Office Space, wrote and directed offbeat sci-fi comedy Idiocracy which gives a new meaning to the expression "people are getting dumber all the time." In 2005, Pvt. Joe Bowers (Luke Wilson) is a soldier chosen to take part in a secret military scientific experiment in which he will be put into induced hibernation for one year, along with a woman named Rita (Maya Rudolph). Bowers is chosen for the assignment because he is statistically the most average man in the Army, while Rita is a hooker ordered to do some community service; however, Bowers and Rita are forgotten when the military base where the experiment took place is closed down, and when they wake up in the year 2505, Bowers finds himself living in a society where intelligence has taken such a landslide he's now the smartest man in the world. Can Bowers save America from its own remarkable stupidity, and he can he get the dunderheads around him to believe what he says? Produced under the title 3001, Idiocracy also stars Dax Shepard as Bowers's numb-skull lawyer, Stephen Root as a judge, and Terry Crews as Camacho, a former porn star and professional wrestler who is now president of the United States.
