Hello everyone and welcome to the first ever Carnival of the Future. For those who are unfamiliar with this carnival, which is excusable given its newness, here is a little background: Carnival of the Future is dedicated to predictions by bloggers about the future. The focus is on politics, art and atheism. Do you have a prediction about what will happen in the 2008 Election? Will the US bomb Iran? Will there be a major change in film? Theatre? Novels? Will atheism be embraced or punished? Sha
