Funny isn't it that to see the future all you need do is look to the past...just pick up an old book.
I thought while watching the video of Wallace and Huxley that it was amazing that this was on television way back when. Such a thoughtful discussion of where we might be headed...well, despite the fact that Wallace starts the interview with a typical media shock statement about "hell on earth"...kinda thought that might make Huxley raise an eyebrow but he seemed quite polite about the whole thing.
Can you imagine the Bill O'Reilly interview with Aldous? Ha!
O'Reilly (face red, screaming) - Admit it Mr. Huxley, you hate the United States and you want to see us fail as a country!
Huxley (clears throat and trys to begin) - No, I'm not...
O'Reilly (still screaming) - No! That's crap! All you talk about is failure! You disrespect us! You have no respect for this country! You want to see us fail! You want to see us fail! Well, I'm not going to take this crap!
O'Reilly turns to someone off camera.
O'Reilly - Cut off his mic! Cut it off! I've had enough of his crap!
