Wow!!! If this thing is any kind of social barometer we are one messed up world! I sort of got into a little CL rants and raves study lately and Where I live ( Vancouver Canada) has open sores infested with ignorance and stupidity so much so that if the energy could be harnessed you could easilly power two major world cities. On the upside, it's a fertile place for blasting oneself out of a writing block...I gotta get a LIFE!
