"Who loves you...and who do you LOVE?!?"
It will not be long before we start seeing things like fights to the death, and other similar types of “entertainment.” You are right, we are a decaying culture, and decay rarely reverses itself. Forget about “never again”. In the future, that which should be “never again” will not only happen, but will also probably be a pay-per-view event.
I think we’ll see a polarization eventually. A majority of people engaging in sick, licentious behavior and events (think Videodrome meets Thunderdome) mainly in the cities and liberal bastions, and a minority will totally reject it, insulate pocket communities in a similar way to the Amish and shun all outside influences.
MMA is only two steps away from that.
