from Tam, regarding the possible futures we await:
“fighting corpse-eating rats over cans of Van Camp’s in the weed-choked rubble of a balkanized America.”
As a kid, I read “Daybreak, 2250 AD”* over and over and over again, thinking, how cool would it be to be a savage sifting through the rubble of a lost civilization looking for bits you could use to defeat the Beast Things. Never thought it would actually happen, though.

Marijuana legalization is being put to a vote in California. It will win, and the District of Columbia will follow.
The resulting drop in crime (too much crime! let’s make the illegal shit legal and crime will drop!) will be pointed at as a good thing, and it will go nationwide.
This is how the idiots are going to pull their popularity out of the crapper. I told you. You wait and see.
