Now there is an interesting statement! And interesting probably isn't a strong enough word to use.

I believe one would be hard pressed to find a human being on planet earth who isn't stressed today...finances, doing more with less at work, hunger (e.g. Darfur), living in cars/street, two income family, too much stuff (e.g. ipod, cell phone), climate change, discord between religions, fear of lawsuit, increase in the incidence of disease, living paycheck to paycheck, increase in # of socialist countries...heck, just the fear of allowing children to stand at a bus stop alone...goes on and on.
