Was life better in the early 2000s?

@caPnAhab Same, sort of.. there are good things about now but it seemed like a better time which is why I'm asking because I don't if I just have a rosy view of that time because I was a kid.

@IUsedToBeHere We must've been blissfully ignorant to anything real happening. I can barely recall 9/11 for example
and sure as heck had no idea what impact that would leave on the world, not until a few years after anyway.

@caPnAhab Stuff like that is tragic but as far as affecting me personally that never has. I think things weren't so political back then for average people, I never remember people talking to each other about politics and world events that much but now it is everywhere.
