it is a combination of things at the moment. The global economic problems...the fact that the USA (and others) is officially in a recession. The tension of being in an unpopular war...the US elections that are finally over (even the entire world was nervously watching that outcome)...the fact that the holidays are right around the corner (more stress).

Let's see...I think that is enough to make everyone's "fuse" a bit short right now!
