The Nameless Decade

[no_arbusto]

Has anyone else noticed the parallels between an as yet nameless decade and the current funk that the entire world seems to be in? Do you think this decade will ever get a name or have a defining moment? In recent history, it's easy to point out the highlights of the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's, but what about this decade? Will we become a society enamored with "flavor of the day" blips in the media, or are we heading towards the next Age of Enlightenment?

As in, "there aught to be limits to freedom" and "we aught to invade (fill in the blank) right now" :+

4. For some reason I think of Abe Simpson when someone says "aughts"

In fact they called him Grifty McGrift. Before that, he helped chase the Irish out of Springfield back in aught four. And then in 19-dickety-two...
