Things are getting better. I can see it also. But there seems to be much work to do still befor more realize and start to work on themselves again. Unless we have, as you say, i big breaking point. Perhapse that is what's left now. Otherwise we have a long way to go. And that would suck. I feel that culmination to a big break is fast aproching. Or it's just me being overanctiuse. Also, thanks for the reminder OP. We really do need to work on what we focuse our attention on. All we can do now till we find a big break is to continue working on ourselves. And that in and of itself is the best thing that any of us could ever do. Plus it helps to change those around you for the better. Teaching by example. And leading yourself instead of fallowing. That's how we break beariers.
