But as this magical Year came near, we only got the upcoming Doom of the Y2K-Bug that would Rrrrip through our electronized world and destroy us all. Our military even was put on High Alert and rather short after that we got 9/11. And in the meantime we got Bush-Jr, Osama, Balkenende, Berlusconi and a climate-disaster that still is getting worse and worse. And by now, the US-car-industry has gone Bust with countless joblosses, a larger than life housing-crisis and a foodproblem mainly because of obesity prevalences of at least 20% in the US. So we're also changing into the humans as portrayed in WALL-e and we're by now well on our way to make our planet uninhabitable with most animals on it labelled "Extinct". Yesss- Take those Space Age Pills and Be Happy, 'cause This Is That Future...! :-) I can remember a time when we were told that in the Year Two-Thousand, we effectively would live in a Jetson-style world.

It's probably why I switched to the high tech and low life of cyberpunk stories. I grew up reading a ton of old school sci-fi so this is particularly profound and funny to me.

Esp the part with grandma. D: Still, I do love a good parody that used the old-timey wonder presentation. (Like Fallout :P ) As for Edward's comment, having a positivie attitude certainly is a great thing and to be commented. However, not all people who are unhappy 'chose to not be happy'. To claim that does a disservice to people who've had bad things happen to them, and/or difficult mental issues. It started out funny, but was depressing by the end. Esp the part with grandma.

If we are unhappy, it is because we do not choose to be happy. Thank-you for this post. I am resolving to further appreciate how good I have it and share that feeling of joy with others.

It was funny, but it was making me cry. I'm going to micro a Burrito, and then eat my phaser. I had to stop at the Prozac joke. It was funny, but it was making me cry.
