The two dates that will be remembered in loving and honored terms are the decade of the 1960s, when the seminal media-as-reality ideas were first inoculated into an entire generation of citizens and the decade of the 2000s, when that generation reached retirement age and found the then-current generation of youth to be perfectly adapted to actually inhabiting the exact same mindset that was only a gleam in its fathers’ and mothers’media-induced mindsets.

Things will be perfect and everyone (except the token opposition, of course) will be cool.
