80s greatest decade ?

[starkvegasdawg]

The 80's were the most carefree happy decade we've had in a long time. All of the protests and unrest of the 60's were over and the bell bottoms and leisure suits of the 70's had gone out of style. It was a time of big hair, big music, and black trans ams with the eagle on the hood. We were crushing it economically and the Cold War was ending. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.

It was the greatest decade of all time.

This sounds like an opening monologue for a movie set in the 80s.

^^ This is correct. The 80's were a very optimistic time after the negativity of the 60's and 70's, just like the 50's were an optimistic time after the troubles of the 30's and 40's. My hope is we'll come out of this timeframe and the media will realize that folks are tired of relentless negativity and change their tone a bit. With the advent of the internet though, I don't know if that's possible any more.

What I believe is that while there are a lot of people who aren't happy unless they're unhappy, the vast majority of Americans are tired of the constant bickering and arguing over everything in public discourse. I expect that a correction is coming, and we'll have a decade like the 20's, 50's and 80's again pretty soon. At least, that's my hope.
