In The Future

Deviancy will be quaint. As in, they won't exist. I blame all the ways we can get on information. Until the 20th century, all people had was books, and the occasional naughty book. Now, whereas all we had was puddles, we're in an ocean. An ocean that was bought, paid for, and chosen. So, of course sex had to be portrayed in the media. And of course, sex had to evolve. Familiarity breeds contempt, and if we were contemptous of something, we wouldn't buy it. So now we have lesbian porn.

Of course, even when deviancy will become quaint, only a few brave souls will go into deviancy that makes Larry Flynt seem like a Sunday school choirboy soprano. The rest will stick with missionary. After all, even in a democratic society, a lot of people are still afraid. When was the last time you abused your freedom of speech? When was the last time you offended someone?

Everything will be flavoured. Reality will be another good, something to be consumed. The oceans will be mixed with Kool-Aid. You won't be able to touch it and point it out, but when you drink it, it will taste like something. Entire oceans will be bought out; the rights to oceans will be fought out. If current trends continue, you will sail the Pepsicific or the Atlanticoke. Flying high their flags, red vs. blue, the coca-cola wars will be fought in the massive warships. Touting their guns high in the air, the troops will cry, "The Real Thing" vs. "The New Generation."

That is all.
