Brave New World, anyone? Mr Huxley's vision of mandatory dosing with Soma may not be far off. It seems there is progress toward pathologizing all things human. Feeling good is hypomanic and feeling sad or angry or frightened is depression and/or anxiety. Each, of course, has a medical treatment. Even the exception - yes, you may be sad for no more than two months in the event of bereavement - is ridiculous. Some religions and social customs of bygone eras allowed a year before one was excepted to start easing back into life.
Rossweisse (who is thinking of founding a colony of Huxley-esque Savages just in case.)
I don't think I'm alone in feeling that people are sad because our illusion of living in a well respected Nation that is a force for Good is eroding away faster than the sand at the beaches of Southern Cal.
