when did the Cynicism and sarcasm?
replace optimism and trust..
why is that every word spoken by those that do know...... is mistrusted
but words written by annonymous usernames from unidentified sauces becomes fact and must happen.
is it the digital era and the over abundance of information and the ability to get the false message out there faster than the truth....

And the sarcastic cynical stuff seems to bite more than the good stuff. Probably why the likes of Patrick Smith can make a career out of writing such stuff!

Any ratbag can have an opinion and not have to actually face people to argue it. Therefore, facts become irrelevant and civility no longer necessary. Just what the outcome will be is a bit early to tell. Could be a while.

Or, how much are we forced to believe by naive governments?
Or agenda setting businesses that profit out of the climate change myth?
That's where the Internet is really dodgy.
In a way, it can be used as a form of clever and legal spam.
