I've got news for you. The world is only what you make of it. It's not nearly so evil in my eyes. People are friendly and good natured, not perfect but worthy of forgiveness, most of them. :)

Live and let live, OP.

Some people would get bored just growing their own food on a farm their whole lives. People need to stop trying to dictate to others what they must do with their lives.

One thing great about american culture, the choice of what you can do is almost limitless here in 2012, with the proper mindset.
