Chesterfield, MO | No but that doesn't mean it isn't true. Society goes through cycles just like a capitalist economy. Fortunately society moves slower than economies and it requires a lot more generations before things get bad enough that they receive a correction.
The modern idea of society is over and we are now entering post-modernity. Some believe we will shift away from a "me" attitude to a "community" attitude. In moderation this could be good but it could also mean socialism and the thought police. I know health care is hot but it's a great example.
I believe it's broken and we need to do something but what happens when in the public interest, folks start getting the idea of outlawing salt or Big Mac hamburgers? |
