"Get a grip. Been riots and mobs since the dawn of time..."

You get a grip. The result of the removal of God from public life over the last 30 or so years has been the reduction of millions of Americans to the basest form of instinctual living. It has revealed our essential fallen nature, which, as you say, has been the same since Adam and Eve made their fateful choice.

As has been said often enough, we are always "one generation from barbarism." That generation, namely, the Woodstock generation, has come.

And the DRAFT RIOTS in NY during the Civil War were what and the Orders to shoot looters after the Big Frisco quake in 1900 and the Chicago Fire was the last 30 years ?
