> The Reader Poll seems to be suggesting that the 1970 and 1980 were the least popular decades. Did somebody have a miserable child hood? Reading backwards (sort of), the poll suggests that the 1950's were the most popular. Or least disliked, if that makes sense. It was the period of the Korean War, the military draft, McCarthyism, the cold war, Jim Crow, the Berlin wall, polio epidemics and poodle skirts. What could be worse than that? Maybe most of the people who responded to the poll weren't born yet.

I choose 1940-1949. I didn't live through them, but history class did teach me about WWII, and that alone is enough to clasify that decade at the worst of this century.
