1 quick thing I'd like to add. People have said: "The world is getting crappy, how can you have kids in every generation since the invention of liesure time to start writing as a profession."

Survival is easier now than it has ever been...EVER. Average people have more leisure time then they have ever had before in the history of mankind. So instead of worrying about carrying on your name, or raising your own farmhands- we whine about how awful things are. But times aren't horrible- times are AMAZING. And bad things have always happened, but they didn't get repeated on every news cycle for weeks.

There are literally thousands of stories documenting this.

Half of the emotional issues American's have right now IMHO were seeded by the major networks having 4 hours of news to fill every day, and American's have enough spare time to watch some portion of it.
