        Others are mentioning the upward trajectory as well, from the Cato Institute to John and Hank Green on their YT page "Vlogbrothers." Both are enlightening.

        "We live longer, healthier, safer, wealthier, freer, more peaceful and more stimulating lives than those who came before us", however, everything may go down in an instant w/a nuclear war. What matters is what lies in the future, not what happened in the past.

        I'm scared and depressed that NYTimes/MSNBC/NBC/ABC/CIA/WAPO are very brazenly engaged in societal subterfuge. Ripping this country apart because Trump is not a member of the permanent DC Uniparty.
