Just to thank all the TOD staff for leading this blog/website to what it is today.
Hope we're all still arround in this forum some years from now (maybe on solar/wind run internet).
I thought once about publishing a story ala the John Titor story in which somebody from 200 years in the future says books like "The Party's Over" and magazines like "Mother Earth News" and "Home Power" are their holy texts from the "prophets" as inspired by the gods of warmth and shleter while ads for SUVs are seen as things put out by the evil gods of enviornnmental destruction to trick the people into sacrificing their young for black gold sacrificed to the devil.
Oh yeah and the lexicon and slang would have changed too. "Condoleeza", for instance would be slang for a lying woman while "mission accomplished" would be slang for something planned by a fool. So if you were getting a divorce you might say, "I thought my wife was cheating and I asked her about it and that lying Condoleeza said such and such."
Or something like that.
Best,
Matt
