As of 16 October 2009, the Earth's population is estimated by the United States Census Bureau to be 6.791 billion. That's the
good news. The bad news is that 1,358,200,000 of this number
would flunk a mental screening test. In other words, one-fifth
of all the people on Earth today are completely out of their
fucking gourds.

Thanks for sharing your positive outlook today. Not sure how far it will carry me, but..... thx anyway.
The people having out-of-gourd experiences has tripled in the U.S.; I blame Glenn Beck's and Rush Limpbot's mothers.
To tell the truth, the insanity is even worse in the U. S. Read Charles P. Pierce's new book, Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free (2009) for the gory details.
How do you face each day, Fearguth? I mean, knowing what you know, how is it that you can get out of your fooking bed before noon? I thought I was depressed, but jeeeeezzz....
Vigilante,
Before I retired, I rose at 5:00 a.m. In retirement, I'm usually up by 6:00 a.m.. (This morning, it was almost 7:00, because I was at a Little Feat show until almost midnight.)
I've never taken an antidepressant in my life. It's trite to say it, but laughter really is the best medicine. And there's plenty to laugh at these days.
What doesn't amuse us today will kill us tomorrow? You could be right. I have to wonder, why it is that I fight off the obvious cure for days at a time. Very perverse and self-destructive on my part....
