>People are stressed because they are never free. I disagree that this is the root cause. News media and social media have both become extremely efficient and high speed conduits for "stress loading" upon our population. A local news story used to only isolate the stress to a small locality; now, however, mass media is amplifying and propagating this local stress all around the country. It's only going to get worse.
