I wonder what kids these days will be reminiscing about in 40 years?
Well, have you ever heard the song "1970 Something"-- it's a country songs about kids that grew up in the 70-s and 80's. Parachuste pants, The Dukes of Hazzard, et al. Vaguely charming but nothing like what prior generations had.
Now the kids are going to have gangsta rap, playstation and look at the President they had for 8 years. No dreamy recollections of a hero President (like Ike) are available to them. Dubya-- a decent fellow (who the elites try to make look like Satan) is hopefully held in better regard by our young people.
