[ So, Luceti, you have Kirk showing up today on our totally hi-grade, super deluxe communication system (haha, yeah right). Anyways, he's there, and he currently has a copy of George Orwell's "1984" displayed in hand. ]

So... I have an honest to god sort of question for everyone. 

How many of you ever thought or believed the stuff in books like this would come true in the future? Or better yet, does anyone actually live in a world like these books describe?

Because, really, the twenty-first century view of the future is... interesting.

What if your world is someone else's future? I mean, my world doesn't have anything like spaceships right now, but that doesn't mean they aren't something that might not be invented in my future.

Maybe someday someone will show up here from my world's future and I'll be able to find out.

True, but as I've learned, the future's not always set in stone. It's mutable. So what would your particular vision be? What do you think?

I think I'd be happy with a world where everyone got along and there weren't any conflicts between humans and half-elves or Sylvaranti and Tethe'allans. Things are getting better, but it's still going to be a long time before everyone is able to change their way of thinking.

I wish I could say it was like that in my world, but it's not. People are people, so you have to try your best but there's always going to be someone starting a fuss.

Yeah, you're probably right. But it would be nice if that only happened once in a while instead of all the time.
