What's that old quote? "The whole world's crazy, except you and me. And I'm not real sure about you, either."

That sure seems to be what's going on world-wide. Is it one of the machinations of the Progressive agenda -- destabilize commonly-held notions of "fair", of "reasonable", to the point that nobody trusts anybody? Or is this just happenstance, a wacky world where odd happenstance seems to be coalescing across several strata of Western Civ at the same time?
