RE: Ah....the Good Old Days. Wait, What Good Old Days?
Get your history right my friend. 9/11 did not happen in the 90s! Also, AIDS did not reach epidemic proportions until the 1980s. There were only a few cases before 1980. You should really double-check your facts before posting articles like this. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_HIV/AIDS
lol of course it didn't. XD I am a jackass. I did the 80s and 70s before the 90s and guess I got messed up taking in so many dates. :)
I remember what class I was in during 9/11 so I should have caught that.
and it is recorded that the AIDS epidemic started in the late 1970s.
I think that source might be better than wikipedia.
I guess it didn't reach epidemic status until 1981. I will definitely be more careful next time I post a blog about history but the source I had did tell me it started in the late 70's. I will find more sources next time.
The point of my blog hopefully still stands that nowhere in history was a magical time to live.
Thanks for pointing those out. I want to do posts about each decade and will take this lesson to check facts harder with me. :)
Sorry, but I am a pedantic fucker when it comes to facts! But you are right, there was no "golden age"... and I would argue that NOW is better than any time in history. There is more tolerance, more communication and more possibilities than there ever was at any time in human history. I am happy to be HERE NOW... and I think it is only going to get better as time goes on! Every new generation is cooler and more switched on than the last one.
