The New Normal: Uncivility and Dishonesty

The one thing that can truly ruin a society is for its people to become uncivilized. By this I don't mean that people devolve to such a point they begin eating one another, but that they become so indifferent to their neighbor's needs they sow the seeds of discord to a breaking point. This is what is happening now. People all over have had it with the dicks they have to put up with every day just to get by. Just this week, we saw a mass brawl break out in two DC subway stops, several shootings brought on by road rage, a hero flight attendant quiting in the most awesome way after a jerk passanger smacked him with his luggage, and a host of other issues that spell the end. Last week, CT saw it worst workplace shooting at a Budweiser brewery where the assailant allegedly claimed that he was being racially harassed. As the other black people in the company have said nothing and the race baiting was never reported to Union or executive positions, these allegations must be taken with a grain of salt. What is not in contest is how hostile we as a people have become, largely due to the everyday stress in our lives. The work grind is killing us and this country. You would have to be a fool not to see it. Companies are forcing people to work longer hours for less pay or else "layoffs" will ensue. If the company really wanted to save money they'd fire the high paying executives who suck up 90% of most companies salary budgets. But that's not going to happen any time soon and as result people are going to get angrier and angrier and things like that work place shooting will become more and more common place.
Perhaps the most non shocking thing to happen these past few weeks is an understandable backlash toward Muslims. With the idiotic, ultra liberal view of building a Mosque anywhere near Ground Zero showing a tone deaf mentality that defies explanation, we have to throw up our hands. I have nothing against the Muslim people (although I do think all religions should be abolished) but they should have a right to religious freedom, just not near a place where a terrorist attack occured by the same people. Would you put up a Nazi gift shop next to Auschwitz? Or an American WW2 memorial at Hiroshima? Of course not. The insensitivity factor is off the charts. Of course people are going to be mad about that. Move it further away and there shouldn't be a problem. However, as Muslims have performed the world's worst PR campaign, many don't want mosques anywhere near them or their children, with protests countrywide about new mosques being built. Part of the problem is ignorance but the Muslim world isn't helping by their my way or nothing attitude. They bitch and moan about every little thing that we do, but god help the Christan or Jew in their countries. More than likely they will be run out on a rail and this does not sit well with many who wonder why should we put up with it if they're not going to. Religious tolerance runs both ways and the Muslim world is in real danger at this point of being wiped out in Europe, Russia, China and even the US. At some point soon there is going to be a war between the West and the Muslim world. A fourth aircraft carrier, the USS Truman is now being moved into the Arabian Sea, along with its strike force. Earlier posts I have written months ago, predicted this build up. Two other carriers in the area are awaiting orders that may put them into the region by months end. Last months non story about the sinking of a Japanese oil tanker is believed to have been done a by an Iranian sub, something that has been blacked out in most newscasts. As a matter of fact, all of these build ups have been suspiciously missing from the daily news. Not a good sign. With the end of Ramadan Sept 10, look out for trouble soon after.
