What did you blog about today?

I'm totally in agreement with your last two articles, Stephen. Substitute Orwell for Tolkien and I'm in much the same place. I often think that the 1990s, when I grew up, were a golden age. I'm probably biased, but so many of the things that threaten us now were either much weaker then or didn't exist at all.

Without having read Stephen's articles yet - I think history will agree with you, albeit with a few caveats about people who were stuck on the outside of the consensus view of the 90s. The reality is that there were plenty who were unhappy then for want of like-minded souls, or because the consensus steamrolled parts of their world - now we are in a world where they've found a voice. But for some of us lucky ones, it was golden - and now everyone's on the outside of something.
