aurora

There will be this odd, unexplainable comet passing too close to earth, causing hysteria and anxiety. In the end, the planet will survive, but the brilliant blue and purple tail of the comet will leave earth changed forever. Technology will go haywire and people will start to develop anomalies in their pattern of evolution.

Some will achieve great power and some will be morphed beyond recognition. Waves of this DNA-altering light left behind from the comet will strike anyone, anywhere at random.

The technology to control and predict it will begin, but the challenge is great. The pearlescent light waves short out our technologies.

It'll very likely begin at the end of the year 2012.





...for those wondering, no, I don't really believe it...I think in 5 years time though we'll definitely unlock the secret to the invisibility technology that's being worked on now and rich people will have glowing pets due to genetic splicing with lightning bugs and certain jelly fish (they've already successfully made mice glow).

1. Variety; being American means so many different things and includes so many different cultures and subcultures.

2. Freedom of individual thought, even if it has its drawbacks and negative extremes.

3. A greater ability to question the status quo without fear

4. Compulsory, public education. Yeah, it could be better, but it could also be completely non-existent.

5. Exploration. We're encouraged and free to explore what's out there (so long as it's legal), yeah, being poor limits this quite a bit, but at least it's not the government standing in your way with heavy censor protocols.

Final note, it took me awhile to come up with this list. I've always felt like an outsider to "American culture" as it refers to the US. There are things I'm grateful for having in the US, but there are so many other things that I just don't get (like our general obsession with money over practically anything else).
