When was the last time you and your neighbors stood around a fire; in a can, pit, or whatever and talked? These days I'd ask; when have some-what similar minded folks stood around a fire and talked, exchanged ideas, and laughed? Not on private land, but in public space? It happened when I was a kid. Does it happen now? I never hear of it. I never see it. I never experience it.
This alone is a signal to the demise of our society. We, it seems, can not conglomerate unless we have the sanction of the State; in simple friendly communion.
We are Rome in 434 a.d. We have not fallen by swords outside, so-much-as villains and fools from within. America has voted in one of several (fore & aft) of the last Caesars.
