Decade in Review – What Didn’t Happen
So the 21st century is 10% done. People are making less fuss over this than I expected, and they’re still making a lot of fuss. A lot happened here in the United States. Who cares? Well, the people that a lot happened to, obviously. But you know what happened. It already happened. So I’m going to talk about what didn’t happen.
Al Gore didn’t get inaugurated. George W. Bush didn’t get impeached. We didn’t win any wars. We didn’t (officially) lose any wars. We didn’t end up with any more oil than we started with. Don’t Ask Don’t Tell wasn’t repealed. A lot of Californian gays and lesbians didn’t get married. McCain didn’t win. Obama wasn’t assassinated.
Put that way, the decade sounds a lot more mediocre.
