At the rate we're going with Bush Jr and then Trump, possibly as the last sane/respectable period in our nation's history. (Yes, Obama will be remembered as a sane interruption of decline)
But seriously - I think the way the Baby Boomers wax nostalgic for the 50s and 60s, my generation will always hold a deep seated love and soft spot for the late 80s through the end of the 90s.
As it should be. It was the genuine Pax Americana, without either a religious nutjob or power made dictator in the White House; without the shadow of the mushroom cloud; without any major war or crisis effecting this country. It was imperfect. But in some ways it's better than today.
