You've probably read the Philip K. Dick book, Minority Report, or saw the hit movie of the same name. He wrote it in 1956. I seriously doubt that he expected something like it to become a reality.

I wrote this over several days to add to a discussion that has surfaced and resurfaced, but now I can’t find where it is so I am doing it this way. (Two weeks ago, I didn’t know blog from fog. Now I am following three sites so please bear with me.) It is entirely possible that everything here has been said. If so, please simply count it as a recommendation for those or regard it as a hypothetical possibility. I find that I cannot avoid saying it.
I thought this was a fascinating and well balanced piece produced by Andrew O'Hehir over at Salon Magazine.
Stop laughing, Democrats! As the GOP goes down in flames, your post-Bernie civil war is almost here
I was watching Flash Gordon (yes, that awful Dino De Laurentiis trainwreck from the 80’s) again the other day, relaxing on a bad weather day and snuggling with the dogs. Quite frankly, its one of my go-to, Saturday afternoon favorites when I want to veg for a bit. Watching Timothy Dalton try to maintain some crumb of dignity in the midst of all that horrific, mega-campy acting (?), painfully bad dialogue, and beyond cheesy scenery is just nirvana for me. “Flash! I love you!
So I have been corresponding with a relative of mine that is a big Hillary supporter (i.e. he is a donor, has been to many fundraisers and met her on several occasions). He owns a financial services firm in NYC, and used to work on Wall Street. We talked a few weeks ago, and I mentioned that I was supporting Bernie Sanders.
He actually took on the PITA Trix -
Whomever you support in the primary, it’s difficult to deny that there is a correlation between turnout and results thus far. Where turnout has been better than 2008, Sanders wins. Where turnout has dropped less than 20%, Sanders usually wins. When turnout has dropped more than 20% Clinton always wins. This table shows the relationship between turnout and results thus far:
I can't be the only one whose card number is still tied to a 30-year-old email address, long gone, and the password for which has also been long forgotten.
It seems to be a problem that's impossible to fix, since I've spent many many hours on the phone with them, and they've several times told me they'd just delete all my information from their servers. Still there. Still demanding an email that doesn't exist. Even when I don't want to use their services.
So, I find myself in the need to explain a few things about myself. I went kinda dark at The Other Place for a while because I was running into the problem where the only time I was getting positive feedback was when I did stories mocking those against Gun Control.
Ah, I was so much Older then, I'm Younger then than now. I knew so much about where I needed to be and where my PLACE should be.
