This Nameless Decade

[Louisiana1976]

Ten years ago, I speculated on what this first decade of the 21st centuryought to be called. The choice wasn't obvious, and the alternatives weren't very appealing. I used this conundrum as a way to talk about purpose: would this be the decade of zeros--the postmodern, consumer society, corporate dominated nothingness-- or the decade of the Oughts--when we assumed responsibility for what we ought to do, our responsibility for the future?

So how did that work out?
