Not to minimize his tremendous support for UC , but dude is a little out there. Or maybe I just dont understand the vision .
Nonetheless, thanks Mr Simpson!
>>>One hundred million years from now, according to Orville Simpson II, 90 percent of the people in the United States will live in giant skyscrapers called Victory Cities. Because each Victory City will be centrally heated and contained under a single roof, there will be no need for overcoats, hats, gloves, umbrellas or galoshes. There will be no pollution and no traffic jams because the only forms of transportation will be electric cars, monorails and elevators. There will be no robberies because no one will carry cash. And there will be very little tooth decay, because each city of 262,000 people will be equipped with 6,324 public Water Pik booths, which Orville Simpson II has already designed, right down to the wash basins, towel dispensers and hot-water valves.
Simpson is 64 years old, and for the last 27 years his life has been devoted almost entirely to the planning of Victory City. <<<<

Was thinking the same thing. Love the support... but....
let's just say that there are a lot of things about his vision that should be discussed in a political blog.

A hundred million years from now there won't be a United States anymore and I'm betting the human race will:
- Be on different planets
- Have abandoned Earth millions of years earlier
- Be Extinct
I'm sure this would be a fun guy to have a beer with. Or at least watch and play a drinking game to.
