Would you rather go back in time or visit the future?

Backwards, clearly, but not too far. Think of the fun Marty Mcfly had in the original Back To The Future, especially when he played Johnny B Goode at the prom - still a genius movie scene.

The future doesn't look good from where I'm sitting, if we look at ecological problems, so go forward too far and you'd end up in a blasted wasteland, with everyone sitting around telling each other: "It's not as good as it used to be, you know!"

Backwards, clearly? Interesting. I'd be far too curious about the future not to at least take a peek. It might all be okay, you never know! Mind you, I suppose we'd always be second guessing ourselves - what if it all went wrong because of this, or this. If it was all okay, would we carry on as we are? I need some sleep.

Wends, I guess I'm a bit of a fatalist and reckon that our future is mapped out anyway. Going forward would take the fun out of seeing what unfolds - and anyway, I don't regret anything I've done in the past, so don't want to regret anything I may do in the future, either, if you get what I mean!
