Kerry's vision of the Future is definitely not "2001 a Space Odyssey" or
anything like it. Most liberals imagine a continuation of 20th century
technologies with a reorganization of social programs with more spending. The
Democratic "Futureland" looks much like today with perhaps more bicycles in the
streets, mass transit, but no new technologies. Mass transit will more likely
be buses than maglevs. Government will be bigger and more people will be
working for it, businesses will be more regulated and heavily unionized while
industries will be protected by tarriffs. To the casual stroller the Future
would look much like today except the prices would be higher.
