[quote name='camoor']I'm pretty sure the spike in depression is a result of our current political climate colliding with an intelligent, inquiring young minds just beginning to sense the futility of their political reality in the near future.

Well back in the old days we had Booze and Weed for that, today..why there's an entire buffet of top-choice pharmacuticals to put a smile on their bleak, pierced faces.
PS: Goverments haven't been any Better than they are today since Christ walked the earth....governments, religions all gain and retain their power via the support (or obedience) of the masses. There's nothing going on today that wasn't going on throughout the history of time. When one country excels, its usually at the expense of some other place. We get all upset and angry, but tell someone their $100K job is going to India so some dude can move out of the shanty-town hut his 12 family members live in outside of Bombay, and suddenly their tunes change.
I find it truly amusing when you see kids protesting the war at college....how we're greedy, how this is a war for oil and profits for American companies...kids wearing $200 designer jeans, $400 jackets...$200 shoes...then they drive to the bars at night in their $80K Lexus slugging back $12.00 martini's, talking about how awful our countrys greed is and how "we should practice, you know, like, peace and stuff"
It must be a mind
when you realize that your government's justification for starting a war had less validity then that of the Lilliputians.
It all depends....I personally dont like people who think they've got the whole thing figured out because they read democratic blogs and go to G8 protests.
The simple fact is that little people like you and I will never know the true reasons behind the wheres and whys of major events like this.
PS: Most Emo kids aren't thinking too far much beyond their own existances at that point in life. "My parents wont get me a car...I'm going to cut up my arm..nobody understands me".
