1987 ~ What A Terrible Year!

Most reading this were 87ers. So this might interest you. In my personal research, '87 was a crappy year. I looked the year up, these were the highlights:
  1. The U.S. and Canada signed the free-trade agreement.
  2. It was the age of rock music videos when Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, U2, and Pink Floyd each released new albums.
  3. Nazi leader Klaus Barbie was convicted of WW2 crimes.
  4. Zulu chief Buthelezi begins a civil war against South Africa's Africa National Congress.
  5. Soviet Secretary Gorbachev and U.S. President Reagan sign the INF Treaty in Washington, D.C., to reduce their nuclear stockpiles.

And that's basically it. Not much happened that year. Sure much of the music released that year is still popular, and most of it was good. But that's basically the best thing about that year. Good Music.

Another thing that sucks about being an 87er is that you were too young to enjoy the 80s, unlike most of our older siblings or cousins. From what I heard, the 80s were awesome. We, on the other hand, were stuck growing up in the 90s. GAG! Those were terrible. In my opinion, the 90s were the years when the world started to go down hill. It started to get crappy right when we began learning how the world works. That's why so many of us are so fucked up.

And That's My Philosophy!
Now I just need to pinpoint the time when the world started to suck, and go back in time to prevent the hell we live in now.
