"Man, if you miss the 70s the only thing I can think is you must of spent the entire decade seriously stoned. Disco? Gas Lines? Double Digit inflation? Double Digit Unemployment? Polyester Leisure Suits? Vietnam? Watergate? Billy Carter? Oil Embargoes? Hostage Crises?"

Oh, yeah, because the '00s have been so great. Gangsta rap & hip-hop thugs. $4-5 a gallon gas. Women with more tattooes than sailors and bikers of yore. Illegal invasion. International terrorism. Political correctness. Iraq. Afghanistan. Methamphetamines. Speaker Pelosi. Harry Reid. Global warming hoax. Anti-patriotism. Ron Paul. Obama & Osama. Hillary. Rudy McRombee. Ryan Seacrest. Paris Hilton. Lindsay Lohan. Britney Spears. Metrosexuals. BDS sufferers. Carbon credits. Brazilian bikini waxes. Microsoft Vista. You'd have to be on crack to enjoy this decade.

Much of this comes to us courtesy of the 1990s:

Gangsta rap & hip-hop thugs

Women with more tattooes than sailors and bikers of yore.

Illegal invasion.

International terrorism.

Political correctness.

Iraq.

Methamphetamines. (and raves and X and MDA and the return of LSD and the rise of "alternative" rock festivals)

Pelosi. Harry Reid. Ted Kennedy. Robert Byrd... These crones never leave.

Global warming/cooling Population explosion hoax.

Anti-patriotism.

Ron Paul.

Osama.

From your list, I'll give you Paris and Lindsey, Ryan Seacrest, $4 gas (which the Left demanded for decades through higher gas taxes to be more like Europe), there may have been metrosexuals before (sensitive guys in touch with their feminine side and fashion conscious) but the term arose this decade. And Carbon Credits. Carbon Credits would appear to be the new scam.

But don't begrudge Paris/Britney/Lindsey. There is always some actress/celeb on a downward drug binge whether it is Anna (Nicole-Smith) or Edie (Sedgwick) or Marilyn Monroe or even the glamor girls of the 1920s and 1930s. Same as it ever was.
