"The American spirit is alive and well: A landmark study released yesterday from a New Jersey medical school finds that the majority of us are overwhelmingly optimistic about the future, no matter how much we twist and bend the truth to try to depress the people."

We are still lacking their Doom and Gloom, despite our “esteemed” news media and academia trying their best to instill it in our psyche.

They're amazed that the media has next to no impact on the majority of citizens.

Boo hoo, what will they do next to undermine our country?

''We found this relative lack of concern surprising, given the overwhelming scientific consensus that global warming is occurring now, and that if unchecked, could be disastrous,'' said Dr. Cheryl Kennedy, a psychiatrist with the school.

Speaking for myself (and as a resident of the state of Frozen Tundra), I'm happier n' a pig in poop to be living in an era of global warming considering that I only have to drive about 4 miles to see the glacial deposits of the alternative.

Dr. Donald Louria of the Department of Preventive Medicine & Community Health at the New Jersey Medical School in Newark

And if people are optimistic in Newark, imagine how positively giddy we must be in other parts of the country! Laissez les bon temps roulez!

Note to the media: we must INTENSIFY our efforts to make people feel downtrodden and depressed! From now on, instead of news, we'll just run an hour of footage of kittens being tortured every night!

even if catastrophe looms on the horizon

Care to elaborate? Or would this expose your agenda?

A 2x4 in back of the head would have the same affect.:-)

This is depressing. I know from the media all of the following:

1. Global Warming is going to flood the world; cause massive droughts; and increase dramatically the number of tornados, hurricanes and tsunamis;
2. There are no new jobs and everyone that has one works at Wal-Mart of McDonalds.
3. Our health care system is worst then Cuba, no one has access to it.
4. We are on the verge of another great depression.
5. Housing prices are headed towards a free fall.
6. The only thing people can rely upon are government programs like Social Security.

Why don't people get it. These stories are reported on a daily basis. What is wrong with you people?

A lot of us are descended from people who were optimistic enough about their future in this country to have boarded cramped, leaky, disease and lice infested ships to get here. The pessimists all stayed back in Europe. The results of this conscious self selection process are fairly obvious.
