REAL headlines from 2029

Gosh, Zeb, you really should post the real headlines from the future, not the joke headlines from the Onion (recently seized by Fox News):

1) International scientists say remnants of Jerusalem have half-life of 42 million years. U.S. chalks it up to cost of freedom. Dissenters jailed.

2) United States considers tapping into national oxygen reserve as international prices skyrocket. Industry still insists myth of air pollution is bad science.

3) Tax free America to institute tithes. Having successfully rid the U.S. of taxation, the religious branch of congress is insituting a "tithe." "The Lord must not be neglected," rep. Reverand Smith avowed as the vote unanamously passed to make everyone pay 40% of their wages to the U.S. Christian Church. Voters are assured that the tithe will only apply to poor and middle-class families with children. "They are the ones who most need to save their souls."

4) Remembering birds: an over-rated species. There was a time when militant enviornmentalists argued that we couldn't do without birds. How wrong were they? Related article: insect infestations reaching epidemic proportions, but faith-based scientists debate whether the loss of birds has anything to do with this. "There is no relationship between species in an enviornment. That's just false evolutionary theory."

5) Travel: Cruises to site of former "ice caps." Sail among the sinking skyline of Manhattan and then on up to the top of the world. Government scientists explain why such climate change was natural.

6) Zeb Carter jailed and tortured for disagreeing with Government. Zeb Carter, once a faithful follower of the current administration, has been jailed and tortured under the Presidential Dictator Act for treason. His posting of "joke" headlines on an underground website for illegal porn were discovered by the Internet Research Association. Though Mr. Carter insists these headlines were all in fun and that he should have a right to criticize the government, prosecutors argue that he was clearly, "Trying to undermine our international war against terrorism." The mandatory sentence for such offences is fifteen years in a rehibilatation camp. The website, which was in violation of government internet decency laws, was shut down and all visitors to the site arrested and interrogated. "Our crusade to rid America of porn is succeeding!" the president's Czar for decency proudly announced.

So, folks. Which headlines sound more likely. Zeb's or mine?

Your's scare the crap out of me!

First, I am not nor will I ever be a religious zealot. Persons of that ilk cause the hackles to rise and I become very wary of who they perport to be.

Second, while I do support some of the present administrations policies I don't support them all. And I surely don't follow them blindly, without thought or regard to the inevitalbe outcome.

Third, while I sometimes don't agree with what others say, I will defend, with my life if necessary, their right to say it. And if it takes me going to jail and being tortured, so you can express yourself, then so be it.

Fourth, While I thought mine were funny, I found your's just down right depressing, and so, so sad.

But, in the present climate........far, far more likely than we care to admit.

This could be true and I hope America wakes up. Too far to the right or left is not a good thing for the country or them.
