I'd say with the idiot we have in office even the Carter years could be called that now...
I don’t know why but I feel that the Carter years were worse. i guess it was because I was very young 11 when he was voted out, but those lines for gas pissed me off as a kid. I guess so much is going on and the internet is full of positive people on Free Republic and Facebook that it makes it bearable. I guess I am more positive now myself with hoping that the Middle East will turn out as well as Russia did in the 90’s when the Eastern Block country told Russia to go to He!!. So far Egypt has been a success. Now we have Libya to contend with. I think that is going to be the deciding factor on whether the middle East ends up a democracy or not.
