Mary Jane is showing signs of stress. Our Millennial bio progresses from irritation to stress, to anger, to rage, to violence, in order of intensity. Stress is the new preferred excuse for failures. Some dined out on their unhappy childhooods well into their seventies. Now it's stress.
Stress is credited as the source of every ailment.
Stress is the consequence of too many people and too little space. We can look forward to this. There is not likely to be less stress in the new Millennium, nor will we see fewer people, less cars, less crowding. I recently spent 70 minutes in the Sumner Tunnel between Logan Airport and Boston. Sitting in fumes and anger, near panic, I wanted to get out of the car, which was impossible.
