Give a man a flux capacitor, and he time travels for but a day

It is widely accepted that Back To The Future shifted, almost seismically, our collective understanding of man, God, nature, and the soul. Marty McFly embodies a philosophy that many of us can claim for ourselves, even if we lack the poetry and talent to describe it.

But did you know that this film is more than just one of the world's most important epistemological works? In fact, it is also the most socially conscious movie ever.

OBSERVE! Among the serious and sobering topics addressed in Back To The Future are:

- Nuclear proliferation!

- Truancy!


- America's ever-expanding prison population!

- The questionable ethics of animal experimentation!

- The threat of terrorism on U.S. soil!


- Urban sprawl!


- Post-racial politics! (Fact: Mayor Goldie Wilson was doing his thing when Obama was still in undergrad.)


- Underage drinking!


- Date rape!
- The inherent shiftiness of gingers!


- The collapse of the American automobile industry!

- Alternative energy sources!


Yeah, I'd say that pretty much covers everything except gay marriage and Brett Favre's dick. But it has Billy Zane and Huey Lewis, so I'm sure we can all agree that makes up for it.
