I was surfing this series of tubes this morning visiting the normal assortment of right wing blogs, newspapers, and other miscellaneous sites.  Everything is doom and gloom and I am getting majorly depressed and then a thought hit me:

The major problem with America is people who think there is a major problem with America.

I am not even going to try and pretend that we aren't facing some major issues, but they aren't anything that can't be overcome.  Seriously if you look at blogs like The Classic Liberal, Daily Pundit, and The Other McCain you would think that society is going to fail tomorrow and we will be thrust back into the dark ages where everyone will be relying on subsistence farming and fighting off roving bands of road warriors.

Given the experiences of the Great Depression, World War II, Watergate, etc.  I don't think that's likely.  Yes, times may be uncomfortable if there was a debt default but look at the Argentina experience.  They somehow managed to survive without resorting to cannibalism.

Don't get me wrong I don't think that we should continue on the current path,  it's unsustainable, but I also don't think that people should be on the verge of panic all the time either.

Just sayin' is all.
