that to know the future is not a blessing, but a trap Wow. That's pretty profound. But what if, like in Terminator 2 and some Star Trek episodes, just because you get a glimpse of one particular future, that doesn't mean it IS going to happen; that you do in fact still have choices? Oh, Einstein, where are you now?!
And what if, like I've seen so much of in the Ann Landers/agony aunt type columns about infidelity: don't you think that if it ever became possible for us to decide whether we want to know what our future would be, that, like in the newspaper columns, there'd be some people who would want to know, and some who wouldn't?
