Life is just wacky that way.
Carry on.

God forbid we should view societal problems as amenable to societal solutions.
I explicated the point a little further on FB, in reference to the way we've managed to reduce carnage on our highways over the past 45 years. Sure, we could do even more, but we need to recognize that we've made significant accomplishments, and understanding how we did that is important.
