Please allow me to correct that Ecclesiastes biblical cite I made earlier. It should read:
With much knowledge comes much sorrow
And he who increaseth knowledge also increaseth sufferingI've always felt that those of us who suffer from depression, whether alone or in combination with other mental difficulties (moi), are in good company when we chat with each other. We're on average a little smarter than the great unwashed public, as the ancient biblical wisdom sort of implies. I also like this bumper sticker wisdom: "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention". I'm a big fan of National Public Radio (NPR) talk programming. Naturally they're accused of having a liberal bias, but in fact what they do is expose their listeners to information that often embarasses certain politicians who were counting on the electorate to remain ignorant of their activities.
