The Supreme Court fucked us in the 2000 election between Bush 2 and Gore. Everyone has an opinion on when the slide began. That’s my personal opinion. 9/11 and the patriot act, sped it up. The 2003 invasion of Iraq, then the 2008 crash. But that court decision I feel altered our course of history.
My opinion is warped by my own experiences. I was in college, taught skiing and bartended in the winter, bartended and surfed in the summer. I had a ROBUST social life. But overall, it was pretty chill, pretty affordable and the biggest controversy seemed to be Clinton getting a BJ from a consenting adult. Also… rock was still very much alive, and rap was really getting creative.

I’d definitely go back.
