Preventative

I was never good at predictions. Somewhere in the late to mid-90’s, after discovering email, online banking, and electronic bill pay, I predicted that the post office would be gone in ten years. Resilient damn thing…isn’t it? I also predicted a few years later, that eventually everyone will be on some sort of psychotropic medication. Every mood would be a clinical diagnosis, and your family physician would prescribe the fix in pill form. My imagination took this one step further and decided that waiting for a prescription was not going to be enough. The government would force a preventative on all of us.
