However, I do believe a few areas still have it ass-backward

"stinky".

not to mention

There are problems, to be sure. I just like to toss in a little countervailing evidence when confronted with "things are so much more fucked up now than they've ever been and they're only getting worse" types of statements, which yours entirely may not have been but which I certainly encounter around these parts with a regular frequency.

The world 10,000 years ago, 2,000 years ago, even 200 years ago was an incredibly brutal, bloody, mean place. It still is, as you say, in many areas and there is always room for improvement.

Still, that said, I'm not sure "Chaos" is the problem.



Are you sure the problem isn't Order?



...and, when you get right down to it, is there really a difference?

No one knows why people were created as a species, and as individuals the reasons vary dramatically, love sometimes has something to do with it.

My first thought when I read this, was of the OWS as they gathered, walked, & stood solid against police in riot gear, mace & Wall Street greed.
I recently watched a clip of the protests in Egypt.
Human life is used & stuff is god to the greedy.
It is that simple
