The Greek civilization died out.  The Roman civilization died out.  And America is simply only repeating what's already been done in history.

Yep.  I've been making the same point throughout my "active" portion of this thread.  😉  The parallels are truly eerie -- for anyone who's studied the end of bygone civilizations in detail.  I really, really wish that I could be more optimistic about the way that things are headed..........but not now.

When a society is hell-bent on pleasuring itself to death -- persons (including children -- in fact: especially children) become mere objects for our enjoyment, to be used and disposed of as we please.  It's the ultimate fulfillment of the philosophy of De Sade.

Teen mothers have gotten into the occasional habit of throwing their newborns into trash dumpsters -- and then blithely going on to party with their friends as if absolutely nothing out of the ordinary had happened -- for a reason.

I recall a scene from a movie of a couple of decades ago -- Time After Time.  During one scene the main character -- H.G. Wells -- confronts a former friend from his own era who had stolen Mr. Well's time machine.  His former friend is none other than Jack the Ripper, who'd escaped the Victorian era in Well's time machine in order to avoid being hung.  "Jack" had then simply returned to practicing his same bloody trade in the late 20th century.

By way of explanation, Jack the Ripper's character tells a stunned Wells that "Ninety years ago I was a freak.  Today I'm an amateur."
