After reading It's Not Him It's Them, I can totally relate. People nowadays are different than when I grew up. I feel like changing them or at least pointing out why what they are doing seems wrong. Of course, they don't care. In this `what's-in-it-for me' world that we live in the values we grew up learning no longer apply.From the lady who parks in the handicapped space who isn't handicapped at all--except for using her mind--to the young man selling drugs and living off of welfare because he can make more money at it than getting a job, the world "Dan" lives in is so different than what he expects. He finds things that he knows are wrong, but no one else seems to care about.This `butting-in' leads to fights with his parents, his brother and a divorce from his wife. In this humorous attempt to justify life as we know it, the author has done a great job of communicating what is wrong with the world and how to cope with it. Pills help make these everyday issues seem less important, but if you don't take the pills every day, your life gets turned upside down.I found myself laughing and agreeing with "Dan" more often than once. He isn't wrong--there is nothing wrong with him. It's everyone else. I love his answer to this, but can't share it with you. Buy the book and read for yourself.
