What a nice piece of creative writing. The internet truly is a wonderful place to let loose with one's imagination.

It's entirely possible that you're living and working with a bunch of zeroes, and getting all of your information third hand. How many real people do you know well, one dozen? Two dozen? Maybe you could spend your time around better people.

Do they still pay you guys 50 cents a post, or is it more these days?
After action reports, critical evaluation with a goal towards improvement, great. Apathy, the world sucks, give up? F that.
In the 90s the USA had the developed world's worst infant mortality rates. But if you look at the way we gather our statistics, it is different from all other countries. Why? Because unlike others we didn't manipulate the metrics because it was more important to us to have actual data to help save/improve lives. So who sucks? Who is failing kids? The country who is willing to make itself look bad with the worst metrics so that it can change things, or those not honest enough to be willing to look bad or make self examination?
Yeah, America sucks, but it's 10x better than it was when I was a kid in the 70-80s, or most places I have traveled. I would rather have public suck that can be addressed than the general apathy that this poster has.
