Remember, Wikipedia is the people's encyclopedia, so its opinions are definitive:

• 2006 is the current year, however many fads and trends have filled this year.
• 2005 was another prime year in the decade.
• In 2004 the United States was facing a divided election and hurricanes.
• 2003 was an excellent year of the decade.
• (2000): The new millennium brought in new hopes of a better future and even more successful era than the 1990s. It was time to say goodbye to the 20th century.
• 1998 was the year of the soccer mom.
