    Is this what it feels like to live in dark times? Or am I just a total pussy?

no.

That wasn't either. Polio was cured, the life expectancy was the longest it's ever been (ICBMs not withstanding) and however ascendant the Moral Majority may have been, there was a chicken in every pot.

Be Syrian and report back for science. Or, you know, Yemeni. Our Little-Endians and Big-Endians aren't even burning each other at the stake yet. Want me to find you a cell-phone video of African villagers torching each other for witchcraft? 'cuz they exist. I've seen 'em. And while the situation is not ideal, it's a long damn walk from "dark times."
