Personally this is the environment that I like.

All the phoniness, common place immorality, complacency and complete disregard for consideration of our fellow human beings of the phony money economy of the 90's etc. just got plain boring and inhuman. Now the whole world has written off America and even Americans have basically written themsolves off. Now all the odds are completely stacked against us but even in the face of all this seemingly insurmountable adversity coming our way it seems in that complete and utter despair that is where divine assistance is the closest.
