So not everything the government's done in the past 10, 20, or whatever
years is good. Big surprise. My air is cleaner, life expectancy longer,
job more interesting, computer faster, I have the WWW, there's more
tolerance of alternative lifestyles, significant moves to drug legalization,
I no longer fear being blown to kingdom come, even socialists accept the
market, etc. There's no obvious metric of whether 1992 or 2002 is better,
but the metric of "what Curt wants to live in" enthusiastically supports
2002.
