It's ok to be ironic, it's ok to be sarcastic, and I'll admit there are a lot of things out there to get legitimately mad about. BUT I've known too many people who give off this constant low-level anger/bitterness about their boss, their parents, the Republican party, fundamentalist Christians, or whatever. And I've decided that I don't want to live around that for any length of time. I'll admit that everyone (including me) goes through phases like that but some people seem to do if for years...
