Winding It Down: Will The Last To Leave Pls. Turn Out The Lights?

Decivilization May Already Be Under Way

The brazen murder of a CEO in Midtown Manhattan—and the cheering reaction to his execution—amounts to a blinking-and-blaring warning signal for a society that has become already too inured to bloodshed.

Gawdamighty, stop the fucking hand-wringing you cretin. Homo sapiens is a vicious killer species, & this particular nation is psychotic enough to allow any killer ape to have & use battlefield weapons, while allowing capitalism & its handmaiden, greed (Or is that the other way around?) to murder anyone who hasn't the money to pay for medical care & drugs. This society has never been "civilized". Anyone who believes it ever was is either an ignorant moron or yet another two-bit, two-faced hypocrite. How'd you get a job typing for a once-prestigious rag like The Atlantic? 

I certainly haven't been civil to anyone in about 10 yrs., & why the fucking hell should I be civil to morons, hypocrites & stupid apes?
