2013 - ATF, Homeland Security and the FBI are all called. Johnny is charged with domestic terrorism. The FBI investigates his parents - and all siblings are removed from their home and all computers are confiscated. Johnny's dad is placed on a terror watch list and is never allowed to fly again. Animal protection defenders make a lot of noise.

Scenario 8:

1957 - In a short time, Johnny feels better and goes on playing.
2013- Mary is accused of being a sexual predator and loses her job. She faces 3 years in State Prison. Johnny undergoes 5 years of therapy.

What to expect in 2014 and beyond ?

The described scenarios are highly unlikely, though I assume they are trying to be humorous.

 

But if we are at it:

1957 some students try to get to school. A mob and the national guard try to prevent it. Mob violence prevents successful attendance.

2013 students go to school. Get bored.
