A Cautionary Tale

One by one, the statues were pulled down. It was 2050, and Generation BB was having its revenge on its Gen Z forefathers. The figures in the Black Lives Matter movement that the millennials had so admired were now in disgrace.

Why? They ate animals, for one. They didn’t do enough to eliminate inequality. Mostly, it was because they–believe it or not–owned vehicles powered by fossil fuels!

Who could celebrate the lives of such hypocritical monsters in our more enlightened times?
