It was 7:30am and I turned on the television, and started complaining because Cheese TV (the world’s greatest kids show, RIP) had been booted off for the day to make way for “breaking news” that I didn’t care about because I just wanted to watch Pokémon. I had little comprehension of what was going on thousands of kilometres away in America, or how that would impact the entire world in coming years. I just wanted my cartoons before I went to school.
Nowadays, we see news of Iraq in the papers, Bin Laden is for all we know living under our backyard, and George Bush is still a joke. Looking back, all I can say is wow. We were really lucky back then.
