if you're young...

If you're young, you'll live to see...
1) The end of separate "best actor/best actress" movie awards.
2) The last execution.
3) The first female president.
4) The first asian president.
5) The first openly atheist president.
6) The first openly non-heterosexual president.
7) If we're verrrry lucky, 3-6 might be all rolled into one.
8) The last president.
9) The last prison.
10) The last pope.
11) The last lottery.
(Okay, i can't guarantee each and every one of these within that time frame. Prognostication is an inexact venture. But isn't it amazing to sit a child upon your knee and think about how many of these they'll witness?)
