The Dark Ages

We went out to dinner yesterday. It was nice, Everyone got just what they wanted, and we didn't do the dishes. Cost about the same, too. We didn't get to congregate and chat, so that was a down side.
Mostly.

There was a conversation I heard snippets of that I'm glad to not have participated in:

Snippets:

"Voter fraud"
"Chads" I really thought that guy was dead!!!

and my personal favorite

"The last several years has been like the Dark Ages"

Seriously?
Plague, fractured governments, no help from others, extreme poverty, no arts to speak of, unbelievably cruelty. Nonexistent health care.

Heh, maybe she's right.
