      I was discussing this with @selentelechia a month ago maybe, and she noticed it. She's almost a decade younger and I think that makes a difference in this matter Some memories:

          The first time I recall reading http://CNN.com  was during the bombings in 98. I wanted to know what was going on. The politics came more quickly after that I had a subscription to Foreign Affairs by 2000 or so (asked for it for Christmas)

          2000 was wonderful. The millenium and all of that. It was easy to be hopeful. I had a hard time going to bed the night the digit flipped, after nothing bad actually happened with Y2k. I was so excited about what might happen next in the world

          Maybe everyone here had a childhood like that growing up. Long summers playing Civ 2 and SimCity and MoO2--just building worlds in your mind with an assist from the CRT

          9/11 was a shock. It came right after my 20C European history class, and after a 20C history unit in English. (St Paul has a large Hmong population, and my teacher was half Japanese; coverage of Internment and Vietnam was brutal.) So, I was prepared to freak out. And I did.

          It felt--suffocating. Everyone around me lost their minds in tandem. A friend who is currently a center leftist in good standing wrote a poem about how he was going to be sad when people rolled up their American flags after forgetting what the moment felt like

          Got my first taste of left politics in 2003 when Michael Moore came to speak at my college. I am glad to say that while I showed up eager to hear anyone speak against the war, i left horrified halfway through. I'd never seen a talented demagogue before.

          Blogs started cropping up around this time and they were intoxicating Most people were still eager to fight, but some weren't, and seeing Contemporary Discourse (generally very good) without a filter was a revelation @asymmetricinfo, @mattyglesias, others--all just babies then

          The spell of the War was good and finally broken around Katrina, when I think the country collectively realized Bush was broken. It was a bit of a relief, but even then--I don't know. I don't think things seemed anywhere near as bad during the GWoT as they do now.
