The thing that bothers me is that the decade of the 00's might turn out to be just that. Nothing.
What do we have to show for it? A war, an appointed president, an invention called "it," a time when people communicate by email and cell phone and don't ever have a face to face conversation, music that is loud(and that's all you can say for it), cars that all look alike, the same stores in every city, and so darned much traffic, it isn't safe to ride your motor scooter.
Maybe, we could call it the tripple 0's or something worse.
