      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.

      The week Bear and Lehman went down, I did buy some extra supplies just in case things got dicey, but that passed pretty quickly. There was a kind of lights-going-out-all-over-Europe vibe to it, though. Probably we haven't really recovered.

      I guess I keep returning to what I thought and who I was when I was trying to go to sleep on 1/1/00 trying to wrap my head around what in God's name could have gone so horribly awry that led us to This If Covid had hit instead of 9/11, would it be like this? I don't think so

      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.

      I recently re-read Lucifer's Hammer. The last time I read it, I was a teenager with no conception of how scary the middle segment is to people with dependents and responsibilities. It also makes me want to put together a library of useful post-apocalyptic how-to books.

          The better of the two Niven-Pournelle 'a combination of California farm country elected officials, science geeks, and LA area social climbers survive after an astronomical object hits Earth' collaborations, in my opinion... But then, I've only just started rereading Footfall.
