I'm sure someone somewhere is hysterical. But no one I know. Actually we're not even hysterical about food. I mean rich folks in the West aren't going to go hungry any time soon- but I do have empathy for the folks who are going to go hungry, and we probably ought to be trying to work something out.

I think your use of the term "hysteria" is a gross exaggeration. Interesting comment. I wonder how we would define "hysteria" in this context. It seems to me that everyone prioritizes issues, (with the exception of the tax and spend crowd, that is. <g>) People might reasonably put the economy or the war on top of the list. Perhaps education, health care, energy, jobs, immigration, poverty. I would submit that anyone who puts global warming in the top five is certifiably hysterical. At least I might if I weren't already dealing with the fallout of the "loony" label. <g>
