Right. ;-) So you are suggesting that I grab the bull by the mungoberries, figuratively speaking, and charge out and make my mark in the world, Amos? Well, hey, not a bad idea. ;-)

However, why should my philosophical musings about society be termed "bitching and moaning"? That is harsh, sir, harsh. ;-) After all, we all have the right to muse a little about the imperfections of society and to regret the lost innocence of youth, don't we?

As for the "conspiracy" thing, I'm not talking about a conspiracy, Amos. I'm talking about a system that is broken merely because it's been founded on very shaky principles, namely the pursuit of money and power for their own sake. That eventually leads to serious trouble. It leads to the kind of corruption that resulted in responses like the French, American, Chinese, Cuban, and Russian revolutions.
