I agree. I don't need a historian for this. I remember it, and yeah it definitely wasn't perfect. But I am not convinced I'm sugar coating it through retrospection. Mid to late 90s was peak civilization as far as I can tell.

I'd prefer a few years earlier, the 90's was rad dude.

Agent Smith was right. It was the peak of our civilization.
