Oh, there are SO many things here I could declare "wrong," but I shall refrain from leaving a dissertation on that here!

That said, I think many of the issues in US culture are the result of unrealistic expectations for what we are "owed" or we need to achieve in order to become some rather nebulous standard of "successful," in the context of the culture.

There's too much "content" to put in our lives, and it requires people to spread themselves too thin to manage to actually fit all of it into their lives.
