torquillI think Heinlein's "Future History" timeline was off by a bit in yet another way...
He describes the 90's as "The Crazy Years". I think the last decade fits that epithet considerably better, at least in the U.S. I mean, we have the rise of authoritarianism, gobs of people who believe in creationism over science, and a host of politicians and talking heads who contradict themselves with incredible frequency, yet their followers never lose the stars in their eyes. You thought the 90's were crazy? You hadn't seen nothing yet.
