I am seeing so much of this attitude come out of Canadians following the wildfires in Alberta. I've seen people who instead of having their cold dead hearts warmed by regular people helping out in any way they could actually found a way to be pissed off that these people had too. I'm fairly certain some of them were happy to have something new to bitch about. Having said that if America was one person it would probably be a very damaged pretty girl. At first it can seem like a good idea, but when you get to the little details it's best stay away. At least that's the impression I get. So although I think lack of optimism is a problem it's just one tiny part of whole thing. If you don’t think everything is awful, you don’t understand the situation!
