Swirling further down the drain

A lot of what I read today in the paper and on the Net made me even less hopeful about our nation's future. Saw a poll of teenagers in USA Today's fluffy weekend section that claimed, among other pitiful/horrible things, that 52% of teens think celebrities only pretend to care about charities for self-promoting PR. Sigh... So I guess American idealism is dead.

What an ugly result of an increasingly cynical society ignited into complete distrust of their fellow man by Republican spin. You know, that pathetically hollow rhetoric that you'd have to be retarded --or at least very mentally immature-- to believe. Things like the idea that the sole motivation of Jesus W. Bush's critics is to promote their latest book. Or that climatologists and other real scientists have completely fabricated global warming so they can get rich and famous. You know, like... like... So I can't think of one, but I'm sure there are hundreds of multi-millionaire climatologists sipping juleps in easy chairs down in Antarctica, right? Maybe a conservative reader out there could name a few of these rock star scientists?
