Agreed. It is a disaster. It is a shame. It is embarrassing. What if the current state of DPS was the result of a single dramatic event? Say, flooding due to a terrible storm with video footage of failed levees. We might have Brad Pitt and other notables having a "Save DPS" telethon this coming week. Or, perhaps the decline of DPS truly is a natural disaster. It might be natural, when the causes are numerous and ambiguous, that human nature directs us, out of self-preservation, to avoid helping and getting entangled in a quagmire of the sort that DPS has become.
