My question is what do you think that'll be?

prohibition / the war on drugs
foreign policy
economic disparity
but most of all... I think the main thing is
technological disparity. I saw a blurb recently about how even at this point, with as much variance in wealth between individuals, 77% of the global population has a mobile phone. I'm part of the 23% who doesn't, but that still blows my mind that so many people who would technically be poor as dirt somehow manage to have a mobile phone (that normally has a monthly fee of sorts attached).
So yeah, in 50 years, I think looking back the main thing will be a reflection of how old fashioned some of us still were as compared to what will be considered the base line of 'necessary' technology.
That, and weed, but at least Stephen Harper finally acknowledged that the war on drugs wasn't working earlier this week. No announcements on amendments yet but at least they're owning up to its failure.
