1. Just the Powerful And Wealthy People
the ordinary people are in despair and depression.

5. Gone? No. Much of it always has been.
Is that proportion increasing?

In America, definitely yes.

Worldwide? Maybe not, but the crazy is shifting
around a bit.

8. You honestly needed to ask?
Or are you just seeing affirmation? :)

10. I just saw Richard Engel on MSNBC saying Arab Spring has now turned on Israel..
Edited on Mon May-16-11 07:15 AM by KoKo
He's reporting demonstrations in Egypt and Libya against Israel. That seems to be a big turning point.

Yes...if this is the ramping story for today along with Heritage Foundation recommending we sell off the Gold in Fort Knox..

Then the head of the IMF is accused of rape and an earlier report said he attacked his grandaughter (who is a reporter who was interviewing him for an article) like a "rutting Chimpanze"...

Well...I'd say the world has gone insane. I can't imagine what's in store for the rest of the week. :eyes:

13. Yes.
People seem to have grown fond of the victim role, and being immersed in anger and hopelessness.

Just sayin'...

14. We are an insane species
Some of the fun of reading old books is seeing the same WTF realization throughout history.

15. If Humankind ever builds homes on other planets...
no doubt there will be billions of "lower" creatures here on earth waving bye-bye and muttering "Good fucking riddance!!!"

16. Na, it always has been.
Just now, the insane have an avenue to spew their craziness via the internet, which allows like minded insane to join in ranks.
