Your falling into the “we’re doomed, things are out of control!” mindset. There is always scandals going on. The government has been corrupt forever (and to some extent, always will be). There will always be outrages to fill the news cycle. If there aren’t some obvious ones, the media will go find them. It is a big country and a big world, things that would infuriate you are happening all the time. The only difference now is we see almost every news event instantly - and we see stuff now we’d never have even known about before.

That's funny, this is the standard ploy of Romney supporters for telling everyone they have to vote for Romney, even if he is a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal.

My point had nothing to do with voting, Willard, Hussein, Newt, or anything else to do with the election.

The point was simply that people always think times are crazier, more chaotic or more out of control now than in the past, and the truth is that is very rarely the case. Crazy, corrupt, terrible, amazing, etc, stuff happens all the time - always has, always will. Get some perspective.
