Agreed. A lot of people are making a lot of money appealing to the panicky monkeys in all of us. Strange, because surely if the world really were ending, the money they make talking about it wouldn't be much use, would it?

You're absolutely right about the harm this diet of doom does to people. Crack a history book, and you soon realize that the times have ALWAYS been dark. And for the most part, a lot darker than this.
