Dag, you're so dead right that it actually hurts. These days everyone is floundering about trying to find something to fight, but this Creeping Nihilism(c), along with a generally apathetic short-sightedness, prevents people from either knowing what to do, or having the balls to make the big changes we need to save the world. Stop abortions, not unwanted preganancies, guns, not murder, drugs, not addiction, violence in the media, not violence in the real world. Everyone wants it to end, but no one is willing to admit that they're clueless, take a step back, and really see the big picture. It's like there's a culprit in a crowd of people who needs to die, and we're standing on the outisde edge of the crowd, stabbing randomly into it with our legislative knives, and hoping we hit him, without caring who else is ruined or killed in the process.
