Modern society has produced all sorts of middleman and service jobs-public relations men, travel agents, pollsters and political-campaign experts, to cite a few.

You are sincerely unhappy, sincerely frustrated and sincerely confused. You are also sincerely wrong about the few facts you cite, and sincerely illogical in the violent conclusions you reach. Besides, what does "sincerity" have to do with issues? Any insane asylum is full of sincere patients. Hitler was undoubtedly sincere.
