I totally agree with you. I'm just glad that I'm on the tail-end of my life, and hopefully won't live long enough to see this country totally go down the shit hole.
I'm glad that you and I see things the same way - but I am infuriated by the frequent expressions on this board of "glad that I'm so old I won't see it happen."
It really is a useless addendum, and sounds very... Well, the British have the expression, "I'm all right, Jack."
