We've had a democratic revolution here in the Internet, and in the wake of it there's been an enormous amount of real generous sharing of information and opinion. But there's also been, as de Tocqueville said in 'Democracy in America,' in the wake of a democratic revolution you also get an explosion of anger, egotism, and everything that's been suppressed jumps out there.
"So part of it is, I think, the economic difficulties we're having. Part of it is the jostling in a country with many different ethnic groups, accounting for some of this anger. And a third thing is that everyone wants to be funny. Comics are cultural heroes. But professional comedians work extremely hard to get that feeling of spontaneity. So the rest of us who aren't naturally witty in that way, we can easily fall into a kind of low, mean sarcasm because that's easy."
