Well, I know I favorited it, but I can’t find it.

My list of mind-recking changes in the world that account for the cognitive dissonance we see in some individuals yearning to Restore the Republic to some Mythical Utopian Past.

This is what I can remember of the list of Things We Never Thought We’d see in Our Lifetime:

1-the Earth tilted on it’s axis (a wee bit) —Chilean Earthquake
2-We lost a nano-second or two from our day —Japanese Tsunami?
3-Twitter
4-Arab Spring
5-China exploring the Free Market concept
6-Spock in touch with his feelings (my personal wig-out)
7-a Black Man in the White House
8-9/11

What else? Anyone? Please contribute …
