"I feel like I am living in a parallel universe from the one I lived in just six months ago."

For some years now I have been feeling like the frequency and magnitude of bad events has been increasing. When I have brought it up, people have said, "No, it's just that we hear about more now than we used to because of our communications technology."

What do you think?

Well, since we are all news junkies to begin with, I would think that we, of all people, would be able to discern when all hell is breaking loose.

And I think we're at a flat out run toward ever living hell.

I think that just because more stupid people have access to you, doesn't mean your more informed.

No, it's just that we forget about all the bad things that happened in the past. I can't imagine anything as bad today as the Southern Jim Crow laws that kept blacks at the back of the bus.
it's just that we hear about more now than we used to because of our communications technology.
Well, that's true too. The 24 hour news channels have to fill that time with something. A lot of the crime stories like Laci Peterson would have just been local stories before cable news.

You are not imagining anything, and your "feelings" are not only prompted by the increased communications/news technology.

Very bad times are right around the corner (imo). And if I may add, I think much of all this future madness is purposeful.

Check out the devaluation of the dollar of late --- bad indication.

Build the big road, boys, and get it over with (SPP).
