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)

I don't know. I don't know what I could have done differently. I don't know. Just feels bad, man. A whole beautiful future just pfffft.

Here, a poll to end things Would you rather survive the apocalypse and remember the before time in its glory and shining hope, and mourn it all your days; or be born after and grow up hearing only the legends knowing you would never live in such a world

1.1.00 was the morning after i broke a severe fever &[i think] a flare up of tonsillitis by accidentally overdoing it w/ robitussin & sudafed & hallucinating i was in a sort of plastic membrane that was likely sweat covered sheets. but i've never felt healthier than that morning.

But there was a lot of birthdays and inside jokes lives like the play Our Town in that time, even when people didn’t have money. It’s happening now too. Just harder to see bc we’re distant. Try to get together w friends outside. Thats more real than a lot of this. &get religion:)

But I guess you’re right.... we have to hold our leaders accountable, hold up the rule of law on both sides, or else things slip and people lose faith in the system. That’s not good for anyone

Restrict your news consumption to the same amount that you had in ‘00, and with the same level of impartiality (at this point just stick to cspan), and it will feel like ‘00 again. We’re way, wayyy too plugged in right now.

The news is carefully sculpted to affect a certain mood. It’s like when a movie has a grey sky, they want you to feel the dreary, gritty “realism” of the scene. But here’s the catch, the sky isn’t grey it’s blue!

Reminder that Al Gore spent his 1998 shadow primary advocating the invasion of Iraq when literally nobody else cared. There was no lucking out or voting that late that could dodge that bullet. Maybe Perot or Buchanan. MAYBE.

Was discussing this last night coincidentally: the intent and methods for Iraq were predictable repetition of Bosnia and Kosovo, which interventions were themselves based on manipulated intelligence. And you're still not allowed to criticize those two! https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/why-al-gore-would-have-invaded-iraq-and-what-it-tells-us-about-syria/article14105322/ …
