In a Worst Case Scenario, -as your last paragraph seems to describe, -I think there *may* still be "Pull Out" Hope for the Society and Country! Its like a Long Collapsing House, thats Routinely Ignored! Finally the Real Collapse occurs! In an Instant with the Inhabitants in it. Then!, -We may Finally Get Up the Will!, -and Know!

Question is then, -Will we be Strong and Quick Enuff to Catch, Stop, and then "Reverse Back on Up", -the Collapsing Walls?!

Or will we be like the Trapped Animal who only Finds Out, -once the Cage Door Slams Down Behind it! Then Too Weak and All to get the Door Back Open?! (Better Hurry Up!, Before our given X Enemy, -whoever it is, -Comes Round to Check on his Traps! Or will we be Too Slow and Soft even there?!).

Its also Important to Know and Remember!, -"In Times Like These", -That its still a Good Ways from All Lost and Bad and All! There's yet Plenty of Decent, Sensible People around! You See and Meet them Every Day! For every Harris and Klebold out there, -there's at least 2,000 OK & Normal, -to Good, to Great!, -Students out there! The Great Silent Majority! (Well maybe that Majority should in some ways, -Quit being so Silent about it!).

Problem is, -there's a Good Deal of Societal Rot and Water Left Running!, -too! Certainly Plenty More! Than in Earlier Times and Days!
