We could do the same thing useing "the sins of the 90s". The wonderful thing is that the word SIN can mean sooo many things to sooo many different people.
A typical discussion about the economy would be peppered with "sins of the 90s", reminding people, of course, once again, about, the impeachment of the 42nd president of these united states and the failure of the democrates to actin the best interest of the country.
