Seriously, I realize I'm being another "not Hacker News" commenter, but it's getting to the point where I really don't want to come here anymore. Around the new year, I was excited about Ron Paul and frequented the politics subreddit in order to get every snippet of news I could. It wasn't long, though, before all of the "world is going to hell" topics just got to be depressing, no matter how true some of them might have been. It's now getting to the point where coming here is depressing as well, what with all the topics about this financial crisis. I realize that it's an important event that affects all of us, but there are very few things we have control of in this matter. Like it or not, Congress is going to do whatever they want regardless of how much we debate the issue. So can we please move on and focus on the things we have some control over, like our startups and other programming projects? Is anyone doing any fun and interesting these days? :-)
