Reports this weekend say there’s been a sharp rise in the number of people diagnosed for depression, but the reason for this is “unknown.” I think I know.
It’s because more and more Americans, thanks to years of liberal blather about “feelings” and self-esteem, would rather wallow in self-pity while whining that “life’s not fair” instead of sucking it up and making lemonade out of life’s lemons the way real Americans were taught to do back in “the old days.”
Now THAT’S depressing.
In other news, the FBI reports that sex-crimes are down, but “experts” are divided over the reasons. Maybe the perverts are just too depressed these days about the crackdown on sex crimes?
They say God protects children and idiots. Hard to argue the point when a 14-month-old toddler in New York fell out of a third-story window on Thanksgiving and landed on the roof of a store next door without even breaking a bone. Nothing depressing about that.
And from the “Stuck on Stupid” files, a 17-year-old in Detroit “who missed curfew at his substance-abuse treatment program” tried to pull a Santa by sneaking back in by sliding down the chimney. Naturally, the moron got stuck. Unconfirmed reports say the lame-brain was quite depressed for an hour waiting for firefighters to get him out.
