Styles will have changed, I imagine

D_____ is such a cradle of innovation, the wellspring of countless inventions that touch our lives in multiple ways, every single day.

At the time I'm writing this (in your past! imagine!), there is still crime, though.  Not everyone has everything they need or sometimes they are prey to addictions that can cause them to do goofy shi.  I know this sounds silly to you in the future, when you have platinum flowing on tap!

In these benighted times, they still single out these unfortunates as they are apprehended and place their images on a sort of electric "web" for anyone to see.   Barbaric, right?  And worse, even your correspondent has been known to further distribute these images to intimates for something they used to call "lulz."

For instance, as I look -- HOLY CATS!  This guy must have escaped from the FUTURE and come back a la Bruce Willis in Twelve Monkeys!  How else to we account for his amazing hairstyle but to be confident that D_____ will remain the bellwether of technological advancement and personal style that is now, back here on June 27th, 2012 AD?:
