"my overriding thought was - "Why do people think it won't happen again?"

Mine is, "why can't people see that this is exactly what IS happening?"

[First Amendment]

They don't think it is happening because they are intoxicated/inebriated with the next sense flash or indulgence. When there are so many channels on TV, so much crap on the internet, so many microbrews -- who has time to worry about "serious" stuff? There's a whole sneering kind of fashionable cynicism, people concerned with what is cool, hip, and hard hearted. People who immerse themselves in popular culture, TV, movies, rap crap, and live for shallow pleasure. Their hearts and souls become covered and calloused.

And then there are the professional atheists - the ones who have dedicated their lives to making the earth a hell.
