It's just part of the ebb and flow of society. When I step back, things are better than they were when I was a young man, even if I do find myself raging at the radio more than I'd like to.
Vaccines are a classic example. Mind you, I maintain this whole thing started with Freud and his ridiculous pseudo-science that appeals to hysterics, attention-seekers and narcissists.
Now the whole concept of evidence-based reasoning is under attack and we're too weak to defend it. We are in serious danger of regressing.
