If you could watch the news 10 years from now... would you?

I was driving home from work yesterday and there was nothing on the radio (as usual) so I put on an AM news station. I hear the normal news of today including the unemployment percentage, the war in Iraq, the meltdown of Wall Street, Govt' Bailouts of billions of dollars... nothing TOO scary. But, I was thinking if I heard this particular news program 10 years ago, it would be pretty scary to me!

Then I started thinking that things probably won't be getting any better, and they could, of course, get WAY worse! I wondered what the news could possibly be in 2019. If I could, would I even want to hear it?

If you had the chance to listen to the news of January 31st, 2019. Would you?

Nope, because all we would hear was static.

"Several Parts of Nevada, Utah and Wyoming have now also been declared terrorist hideouts. President Williams urges us to avoid contact with anyone who is not wearing a barcode on their forehead.

New York. Contact to our Mars Colony was regained after what NASA spokeswoman Cathy Smith termed a temporary glitch in the space lines. Updated images from Mars can be viewed in the sky from 8 p.m. or experienced in the Holo-Net beginning tommorow.

The Cleveland Browns will be teaming up with the London Colts in the final rounds of Laserball. Coach Sam Sanchez says the collaboration will put a new spin on their ball and keep the Packers at Bay."

I don't think I would. Actually I'm pretty sure of it. It's kind of like knowing the end of a movie before you watch it. It kills the whole thing for you. Besides I love to live on the fly.

I get depressed at the news now...I can just imagine what ten more years of being ruled and controlled by these idiots will bring.
I think the news will probobly be alot more depressing in ten years.
I say nope,I'd pass.
