It's the end of the world as we know it...
R.E.M

Washing Machines and the Evening News

Let's just jump right in and enrage 51.4% of my audience - The advancement of women in western society is the cause of it precipitous fall.

Yes I said it. Women leaving the home behind, going on to higher education, becoming fashion whores and international travelers has caused an irreversible decline of the West. Women in the 21st century, check that women without morality, have totally shifted the course of western dominance of the globe now, and for the future. Damn you women who think you had it so bad 100 years ago. To hell with you and your bra burning, politicking, WNBAing space shuttle riding, day care using and presidential candidating. How dare you assume that you should inject yourselves into EVERYTHING because it cannot be done right by men alone.

As Shana shifted her hips on the couch, I regained my focus on the real world. I had always been immersed in visuals, as most men are, and with this new 'screenless' videowall I was off in la-la land almost completely when the action started. "Turn it down sweetheart," she said for the millionth time in our marriage.
"Of course sweetie," I began, "volume down." I announced to the voice activated Central Server with speakers in our ceiling. The sound faded, as did I. The narration gave way to my own memories of the images scrolling across the wall. The Videowall behaved similarly to a true hologram, but had a depth that did not create true 3d. It was designed for viewing from one angle and giving the look of three dimensions.

As the bass-enhanced computer generated male voice narrated the program, Shana's eyes did their familiar droop, close, open then close. This went on for about 3 minutes, and she then started her nap for the night. I watched the years roll by, marked by events.

In 2014, the riots came. People, especially free people do not riot often and not with the carelessness of angry mobs in other parts of the world. The demonstrations came first. In February 2014, after the State of New Jersey hamstrung itself and sided closely with the Feds. They barricaded the George Washington Bridge, the Fresh Kills Crossing from Staten Island and the tunnels on February 3rd. As of that moment, no one could leave PONY by car to enter New Jersey. New York State did its part by setting up roadblocks on I-95 north and the New York Thruway. Makeshift checkpoints were put in place in the middle of the night on Sunday, so come Monday morning, this show of force would darken the dawn of all those secessionists.

Today is my birthday. I am 75 years old. I am not retired, I really don't even think about it anymore. Years ago I thought that retirement was something to look forward too. Spending my days sitting with friends and relatives and playing golf and cards and what have you. That was a long time ago, when I worked my ass off and tried to save money and accumulate wealth because that's what we Americans strove for.

Now I am still working. 75 years old and still working. I do not have to worry about my retirement because there is no such thing. It must have been 15 years ago that PONY abolished the status 'Retired' from her citizens. I was only 60 then and still in good shape. I was happy that the Council had created not only a clever way to support people who could no longer physically contribute, but also that it separated us further from the defunct practices of the United States.
