[21st Century Man]

The whole situation has become self-replicating in our culture due the dominance of the entertainment/media conglomerate. The sheeple lead the herd right over the cliff and it's worshipped as "culture" and "art".

Never has there been a more dumbed-down populace hell-bent on self-gratification. I'm afraid to see what will happen in the next 5 years as the economic facade collapses before our eyes...

I even question the much repeated assertion that today's kids"feel good about themselves"
People who feel good about themselves don't continually try to emotionally,physically and spiritually hurt others in this constant scenario I see everyday in our schools that reminds me of Lord of the Flies with only a veneer of restraint holding back the flood.
