There are plenty of decent, hardworking and sane people in America. However, sanity and normal functional families dont interest anyone. In a world spinning slowly out of control, insanity and acts of exreme violence, cruelty, greed and decadence is what sells the newspappers and keep people glued to the TV screens like zombies. You wont read about the sane ones nor will you see much on the TV, because to put it very simply, people would rather be shocked and entertained than say educated.
