Had it with gas prices? A movie has the answer!
There’s certainly a lot of moaning and groaning going on about gas prices these days, but I’m not worried.
Why? Well, because according to Back to the Future Part II, we’ll have our flying cars in only seven years!
Remember? In that movie, the characters went forward in time 30 years to 2015! We haven’t got that long before fossil fuels are extinct!
(Turns off sarcasm)
(sigh) I’m not sure which is more depressing: the gas prices or the fact that the future in a movie made in 1989 will actually be here in seven years - and there won’t be a flying car in sight.
Where’s a flux capacitor when ya need one?

This is pretty typical for Hollywood. They always think we’ll have wondrous things in a relatively short period of time.
