We have terrible national leaders, our movies television shows ,music, news stations etc are not upbeat but depressing spreading gloom and doom and it all this carries from one person to the next. Essential the proverbial misery index is in the minus column.

I would have to agree that people in the Dust Bowl were probably more upbeat than your post.
