You have a good sense of humour and this is a funny extension of the allegory. Your addition remind me of Sid Meiers Civilisation games. In Civ 2 the world ended in 2020, but now in Civ 5 the world doesn't end until 2050 (does he know something we don't?)
I've had similar thoughts about Sid Meier in the past, too. He seems eerily preminiscient sometimes. Love his games, though.
Will we being seeing a change in ideology from Freedom to Order as everything breaks down?
