What do you count as "young" ooi? (OK, I'm probably (not-that-)old and single).
With respect to the politics, I'm finding myself feeling increasingly powerless. In the UK, we have a government doing very similar things. Tony Blair standing up and outright lying to Parliament, no credible opposition (and I certainly wouldn't aim further right than we already are).
I'm also worried that the last line of your rant is actually too true, that we are all one people, and that we are all acting in the same selfish ways, and all increasingly failing to get along...
