We have moved from animal/cave man to organized society. It seems we are now reverting back to animal/cave man.

I know what you mean and I essentially agree as far as it goes.  I do think we are entering something much more sinister though.  We are not cave men.  At this point in human advancement, we have far superior knowledge.  Having that knowledge, we will not become enlightened and grow out of what we seem to be headed into.  No, we have found a way to intellectualize the worst of human characteristics, and seem poised to go down that road.  If we do, it will be a road of no return.  Rationalizing this behavior referencing all that we have witnessed thorughout human history, the pure evils and not rejecting them again, there will be no wholesale rejection of them after this IMO.  No, we are poised to accept this devious nature of man, institutionalize it and herald it as the brave new future.

Damn not the cave man in relation to this.  Damn us for where we are headed, and think of the caveman as far superior to what we may be choosing to become as humanity.  Perhaps inhumanity would be more accurate.

You have a point there.

Cavemen behaved the way they did because they did not have a choice.

Modern man is behaving like he is because he has chosen to do so. The choices modern men are making are becoming increasingly unbelievable.
