Protesters ask where is my Tomorrow ???

     Today X generation and baby boomers protested in front of the White House about the arrival of  tomorrow. "Accountability is demanded,"  said one protester. "Where are the flying cars? The house cleaning robots? We demand our promised world of tomorrow today! Tomorrow seems to be such a disappointment. Many promised things never seems to go beyond development. The Hilton that was to be built on the moon was never built. Many careers in space exploration seem to be planted on the ground rather than weightless in space. Pan American Airways, who once showed concept drawings of their passenger space ships, doesn't even exist anymore." One upset, middle aged protester carried a sign that said: 'Where is my robot girlfriend?'  A homemaker asked, "Where are the food capsules we were promised? Or the machines that just create food out of thin air?"
All of this could be a problem in the upcoming election. Republican researchers found a tape of President LBJ promising that by 2012 there would be condos on the moon.  Republicans may begin asking citizens if they know about this promise. Perhaps Obama better think twice about participating in future debates.

As an American, I ask those out there reading, Where is my Tomorrow? It didn't happen today.
