What are we calling the 10 years that just flew past? “The Naughts?” “The Naughties?” “The ‘Aughts?” “The Digital Decade?” I nominate the “Coolness Decade,” but it’s going to require a little less irony and cynicism than what is normally exhibited in our culture to fully embrace that title. That will be tough, considering the physical, psychic and fiscal scars left behind by the years 2000-2009. They gave us one truly horrific event, two wars that are still with us as we begin the second decade of the 21st century, and more fear than we can shake a metal detecting wand at.
