"nationalistic?"  au contraire (How French of me.) We see the end of days of living the good life at the expense of the rest of the planet, there's nothing we can do about the slide, and it's SO obvious that our government is only taking care of themselves.  The body has been dying since Raygun and we're now waking up to its inevitability.  psychosis - don't think so.  Reality sucks!  Long overdue!

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
