Towards the end, this article tries to paint a rosy picture but it just doesn't fly because people are living it and they know better.  There IS no rosy lining to this picture.  We all fall flat on our faces and then maybe things go up because we've hit bottom and there's no where else to go.  It's still not pretty.
