Crystal Persuasion

In the future, politics and religion will be pharmaceutically alterable.

Which will have all kinds of amusing consequences. For example, if you don't like your spouse's ideology, you just obtain a pill on the black market and slip it into his/her OJ. Imagine if you will, an unhappy couple each dosing the other at the same time with a drug that changes one's religious/political ideology. They wake up with positions reversed and still incompatible!

Instead of political advertising, campaign managers will have spray planes flying overhead on election day, misting atomized drugs down on the populace. Complications arising when the same voters are engulfed by pharmaceuticals from competing candidates.

Same for evangelism. Evangelical churches will be using atomized mist on the streets, and trying to sneak their own chemical brew into the water supply.

Better living through chemistry!
