I sit here wondering more and more frequently just what the hell happened to our country. I don't know when or how it became more acceptable to whine about everything or try to shut down opposing viewpoints from your own or physically attack people you disagree with without any fear of reprisal or drop F bombs like they're M&M's, but that's where we are and frankly i'm very worried about it. As a society, we have turned a corner to a much more angry time in our existence, and I don't see how we're going to get out of this.
Is social media to blame? Yes, but to what degree, who knows.It certainly has given a lot more people a platform for expressing opinions or criticism in a much more anonymous way than a letter to your local newspaper. Maybe it's the after-effect of talk radio. I don't know, but I hope it changes for the better sooner rather than later.
