Are we going in the trash can?

Maybe it's the let down from a great RVing trip, or getting back to the triple digit weather, or smashing my finger while working on my hot rod, or ... maybe I am just getting old. But, to me, it seems we as occupants of this earth are decaying as (what I have been told) the smartest beings around.
Beyond the concepts of destroying our environment with oil spills, polluting the air, contaminating the fresh waters and oceans. Then there is the undying urge to shoot someone for NOT being the same religion as you, or because you want their shoes.
Hey, I get it...we ain't perfect. I know that, but it seems we have just lost our way. We have no respect for others, we have no acceptance or tolerance. It's an "all about me" society.
I am all about protecting me and mine. But, how about a little understanding when someone does not agree with your thought process? Yeah, you can discuss it and discuss it hot and heavy, but don't shoot it out if you can not agree! If someone does not play nice, you do NOT go play with them again...you stay away from them.
Certain recent events MAY HAVE set me off. The Mosque near Ground Zero, the random assassination of people in Mexico, the oil spill in the Gulf, AND the way "conservatives" blame our economy status TOTALLY on President Obama. This is the short list. I know...I am getting old.
President Obama is NOT totally at blame. He is not totally innocent either. The economy was alright screwed up when he was just a Senator, but I do not forgive him for defending the building a Mosque near Ground Zero and some other things he has done.
We not only pollute the atmosphere with petroleum products, but now we speed the process by blowing out a well. Get a clue, there are a lot of alternative energy sources.
OK, OK, this is all very depressing. I get it. But it can be reversed if we really try...even as individuals. Think about it, "United we stand, divided we fall" concept approach. Change our desire for oil, don't do drugs, walk instead of driving, write letters to Senators and President. To rub salt (a Mosque) in the wound is not a good idea ... not even a half good idea.
Oh yeah, you kids...pull your pants up...we don't want to see your underwear or Hula-Hoops/nails in your ears, nose, tonques or eyebrows. And one more thing...flip-flops are NOT shoes! O-M-G! That's texting lingo...which I don't do either. I know... I am old.
