Nostalgia for the good old Commies

"Many people say that the world changed forever on September 11, 2001. But for me the day that I knew modern life—at least political life--would never be the same came several years earlier. It occurred on December 2, 1999 during the “Battle for Seattle.” CNN was showing footage of a WTO protestor throwing a news rack through the window of Niketown. The notion that the greatest injustice this young activist could lash out against was being perpetuated by a shoe company filled me with a deep malaise. But then I noticed something odd about his feet.

The protestor was wearing a pair of Nikes."

This little post made me laugh, I had forgotten the timbre of the times back then versus the chaos of today. And that part about talking cars is True! What's up with that anyway?

probably realized, after spending $150 on shoes, that he still couldn't dunk a basketball...

it is not everyday that someone around here uses timbre in a sentence...
