Describe this decade: 5 words or less.

[skids]

Being as it may that we are nigh two thirds through 2006, thusly the decade...

...it is fair to say that historically we have already seen what will be remembered of it. Good things could happen in the remaining 3 1/3 years but they will likely be lumped in with the next decade.

Pretty sad, huh?

Especially for an auspicious aught.

So here's my challenge: describe the 00's in five words or less.

61. SLaD, your posts are always so poignant

NOLA was a warm-up, a trial run. What I saw unfolding before my eyes devestated me on so many levels (and I have no one in NO). On top of the horror I felt at what was being done to NO's citizens, I knew that what I was seeing was just a preview for what we can expect to see (or maybe not if there is a media blackout) in the not so distant future.

BUSH IS JUST GETTING STARTED

[seemslikeadream]
