This is a sad world....

I agree here with most of what is said, if not all. What breaks my heart is the way the internet is used for nastiness, deception, and just plan crap. It has actually accelerated a downward slide in humanity, I seriously believe. As a longtime teacher, I have observed families breaking apart, crime, porn, drugs, abuse, all of the stuff that I honest to God think comes from the devil himself (no, I am not a Bible thumper, but am a Christian, even if I am a lax one...lol).

Anyway, I too agree with a poster (and Luigi) that is is truly so hard to accept that people can be such a##holes. My late mom always said, "You don't understand how a criminal thinks cuz you aren't one." She was sooo right. The good people of the world are basically laying down while the cream of the crap takes over. I imagine that some day in the future (when I am probably long gone) people will stand up and say enough of this. Unfortunately, by then, who knows how the world will be.

Enough of the depressing stuff. I enjoy reading all of this stuff and appreciate you guys opening your hearts and souls to others. Keep the faith!!!
