Btw.. mothers day was like in april wasnt it?
It varies regionally. So in the US its 2nd Sunday of May, whereas here its the forth Sunday of lent. I believe this is another case of you Americans getting it wrong. You introduced mothers day in the early 1900's due to a campaign. In the UK our date comes from something to do with Christianity.
Also, Fathers day is 'just made up'. It was brought in to make it fair and celebrate the men who parent too.

"Future"
But do you think by the time its the year 3000 we'll have all the things that futurama has? or do you think we'll sprout wings before we have flying cars?
Do you really think the worlds going to still be going strong by then? I believe we could probably invented some of that wacky stuff pretty soon, although some are totally infeasible/impossible, but there are more important things to be inventing than flying cars and shit. Like alternative energy sources. Solving the problems of water/food shortage across the world.
Back to the future is a good film.
Personally I believe, to an extent, in something along the lines of The Club of Rome Theory, which is basically that as time goes on population, industry, pollution all increase. As it reaches catastrophe point where pollution is too high that people start choking and population, food and industry plummet. To go further, I'd say that the remaining population will adapt to the high pollution levels or something and society will rebuild again.
Although I also slightly believe in Gaia Atlas - that we, as a race (although this isn't believe at times) are clever and will work out a way to sustain life. After all, we are already starting to solve some major problems.
