"When you read history it is quite astonishing to discover that there never was a day when men thought times were really good."

Jeff, that is so true. I read an essay by John Steinbeck recently, and I'd have sworn he *just* wrote it about how things are going downhill fast and that changes better happen soon or it will be too late; but he didn't just write it because he's dead. He wrote it in the mid 60s.

I think the only time the world ain't gonna end for a lot of people is when they've been sucked into a mania. Maybe that's why manias are so attractive to so many people -- it's a relief from the reality that we're all gonna die in a world that's totally farked <g>
