It seems to me that people in general believe that there is some sort of social or moral evolution occuring. That as time passes, "things are supposed to progressively get better". Now I'm not trying to be a pessimist, but clearly, recent and past history does not support that this is happening. In fact, I'd venture to say that entropy ( Inevitable and steady deterioration) that is evident in nature probably is evident on a social level. I'd say that very little has changed in the hearts of men since the beginning of time and that there will always be considerable conflict between groups of people. I won't even start with the "us and them" "good and evil" rhetoric. It doesn't work that way.
Societies wax and wane. What is it that keeps them going? What causes their demise? Clearly, the US is under a steadily increasing amount of attack. It's not likely to slow down anytime soon. It could get alot uglier.
Just a thought...
