Romney, what a bush toady! Bush will be remembered as the president that began the stripping of our civil rights and liberties and killed privacy. The Christian crusader who tried to cleanse the world of "evil doers" but only managed to created 10 times more enemies in the process. The president who tarnished the good name of America, the only person who took the support of the whole world after 9/11 and turned that into disgust and shame. He will be remembered as the worst president in history and it will take the work of many good men in the future to undo what he has done. He has set us back nearly a generation. He is more than a failure.

I believe that humans are going to continue to integrate with technology until we can't tell the line blurs between humanity and technology. For example we will have cochlear implants to hear, retinal implants to see, artificial nano red blood cells and white blood cells, artificial heart, lungs, arms and legs and right now they are working on neural networks that simulate the process of how our brains work. right now they are 1/1,000,000th the power of our brains but the exponential growth of technology has shown us it doesn't take long to fill the gaps. 18 months later they will be 1/500,00 then 1/250,000 then 1/125,000 so by the 2020's to 2030's there will start to be a blur between humans and computers and eventually we will be able to download ourselves into new host bodies which will give us immortality. The future is going to be a very different place than it is today.
