Was life better in the early 2000s?

@val70 Was it easier to talk to people? Was the World less scary?

@IUsedToBeHere Oh yes, I remember the time before 911 very well. Criminal acts done by terrorists were still done by criminals and not fanatics. The Northern Ireland Good Friday Agreement wouldn't have happened afterwards. Just look at the deeds and reputation of one Tony Blair. Before he was a peace maker and afterwards a war criminal. Not entirely his doing but the change of time too
