In truth, it's hard to tell if the world is going down the drain. While I am sure it is, and we now have the internet and 24 hours news to tell us so, can you imagine living in eastern Europe when the Mongols were rampaging, sacking cities and killing every man, woman and child that they came across? Or during the dark ages when war was constant and rape and pillage was the norm. If anything humanity has become more civilized. But still, our natural desire to destroy each other is always strong, and sadly, we now have the ability to destroy ourselves...my point is, as a student of history, I can't see how much of our past is much better then today.
A true pub conversation!
