Absolutely. I think people are intimidated, demoralized (de-moralized) and where once they believed anything was possible, any social problem could be solved (even those old as history, such as women's rights, human rights, etc.), now they've somehow drunk the wrong Kool Aid, some stuff distributed by Jim Jones.

Time to get to work.
