Yes they are. They speak of the direction we need to go, and I hope they propel Hillary along to some extent anyway.
Quote:...the Civil War... was a clusterfuck.
No doubt, but it was a typical 4T in most ways. Remember it also includes the 1850s, which is where we are now by analogy. It enacted the ideals from the preceding 2T, by abolishing slavery and instituting reconstruction, from which there was considerable backsliding. But, it was there, and it returned, thanks in part to that king and the two young brothers, and their Dream.

No, the dove is nicer. And it rhymes with love.
Quote:Rags wants a fast forward/rewind button so he can just speed through 4T's. They suck suck green donkey dicks. I'd love to press the rewind to 3T or fast forward to 1T. That would be an awesome invention.
David made a good point. Good luck with your invention idea. I have a different one. Let's rewind back before the 3T began, and then just fast forward to the 4T; it would make the 4T go a WHOLE LOT quicker and easier.
Of course, in many ways, that's what we did. The whole 3T is a set of empty years. No culture, no politics; just wasted hours, wasted years and wasted decades, signifying nothing at all. Blank tape! We did it the Richard Nixon way. Erased the tape. It was not only an 18 minute gap; it was a 24-year gap! Get rid of the last 3T; throw it in the ashcan! Total garbage! And reclaim your youth, because we are all entitled to be the same age now that we were in 1984. Nothing happened since, so why should we be charged with any years?
/rant
I was born in the 3T and experienced the culture so i beg to differ.
I do not think that will ever happen with those of us who enjoyed that era as well as being influenced by that era. I think you interpret the 3T differently to how an xer does and how a millie does.
The last part i highlighted made me laugh when you say we ALL should be entitled to be the same age we were in 84. Check out my sig for why i laughed. No thanks for me!
You don't want to be "born again"?
Seriously, you can differ. I have made my statement and of course you saying that you differ does not change it. You guys can fill in the gaps in my opinion and knowledge, as you are doing on that thread. And of course you can't read between the lines of my statement; I'm exaggerating to make a point and express my feelings. So you feel you have to chime in. Yes there are some good things in all years. But for the most part, culture sucked (with the exceptions I have mentioned), and politics sucked, and the two were related. "We need to skip the 3T" means that the Reagan ideology which has dominated and totally hand cuffed our society, IS what is making our 4T suck. Nothing else but our 3T is what makes our 4T suck now.
When you say you can't stand The Beatles and refuse to consider or listen to any of their songs, you are doing the same thing you accuse me of doing when I say the whole 3T sucks. There's quite a bit of variation in their sound and music; it's not all the same; that song was a Paul solo version anyway. If you think you haven't missed a lot of what the 2T offered, and if you think it's just a generational thing or subjective taste etc., you are very much mistaken, and very much missing out. But, I am posting it just because I enjoy posting it, and just in case some people enjoy it. I know I need to make youtube playlists; I haven't gotten around to it.
I do check in to the 3T thread to see if there's something I may have missed. Usually there isn't, but sometimes there is. I'm sure there's much to discover and learn about, at least from somewhere, if not in that thread. And I am posting some of what I consider valuable from the 3T years there. I don't gather that you have heard any of what I posted. I suspect though that you know even less about that 3T music than you know about 2T rock, pop and folk. For most people, that's true.
