* This is the worst article I've ever read, bar none.  It's entire raison d'etre is a mystery to me, other than to allow various people to scribble down something that they have either heard about (anything that has happened since 1/1/2000 is game!) or have an opinion about.  There is no cohesive theme here.  Look, it's one thing to have an article on a decade like the 60s that a) is actually over with and can be seen from the distance, and b) actually had something culturally or historically cohesive about it.  But this article has been going March of 2003 [and, I must say, the original article was not only leaner, but was almost certainly better than this tumor-ridden piece of crap we have now], and no one can say with any kind of surety what this decade will look like to the future.  Somebody ought to delete the whole thing.  It's an idiot's playground.
