Predicting the Future

I think it is safe to say that Veronica and I have predicted the future. After discussing federal and provincial issues and how same-sex marriage is slowly becoming legal due to the Supreme Court concluding that it's unconstitutional to ban such a thing (I would go into more detail, but I'm almost out of breath), we started to sway our conversation into the direction that consisted of future controversial issues. Woman having voting rights and blacks and gays having equal human rights have all been controversial issues that our extremely liberal generation has no problem with. The older generations might have been all WTF over the aforementioned issues, but we just didn't see a problem with it. But, as our seemingly liberal generation becomes the ancient dinosaurs of the lands (like so many seemingly liberal generations before us), we both wondered what the future controversial issue will be, and I believe we have it figured out: Clones.

We've decided that there will be a whole opposition to clones (that is to say cloning becomes legal). To be truthful, I'll be a little reluctant to see clones as anything else but clones. Of course my views will be considered discriminatory. There will be clone rallies, arguing that they're people too. And then the TV-shows will surface, such as Clone as Folk and Will's Clone and Grace, Clonefield and Clonesier, and so on and so forth.

Ah, Veronica rules.

I disagree that it'll become the NEXT issue, although I do believe it will become an issue eventually. I don't know if it'll fly though. Once human cloning is perfected, what's stopping governments or extremists or whatnot from cloning entire armies. Either there will be an overwhelming uproar before it's complete, or there will be massive 'Clone Wars' if you will. I highly doubt that clones and non-clones will ever live together peacefully. Gay marriages on the other hand...I would fight to see that!

ok, I'm stupid and read wrong and you never said clones will be the next major issue. I don't know how to edit though, so you'll have to read about this later. Yes. The End.
