Flintstones vs. Jetsons

This morning, as I was waiting for the rain to stop, I began haphazardly surfing the plethora of channels graciously provided by our local cable company, when I came across an old episode of The Flintstones. As I was watching the current episode, one that I had probably seen a dozen times previously, I started to think about another ol' favorite...The Jetsons. And that led me to think about which would be a better world in which to live; Bedrock or Orbit City. Now of course, most people would probably say Orbit City, and with all the great technological fun to be had, I would be hardpressed to disagree. How great it would be to simply hop in my jetcar, and head off to work, without having to worry about parking at Wawa, or... dealing with half the city of Philadelphia simultaneously converging on exit 30 in order to avoid the slightest chance of a raindrop ruining their weekend. Not to mention that really cool conveyer belt ride that somehow has you dressed, presssed, and ready to go by the end of the ride. Cool. It sure seems that Orbit City has it's perks. The Flintstones however, have one REALLY good thing going for them...you don't have to worry about gas prices when your car literally runs on foot power! See ya in Bedrock!
