It’s been said that the first warning sign of a civilization headed for collapse is the creeping rise of incivility and rudeness of its people
I’m not so sure.
“Incivility” has been with the nation since the beginning, and it defined much of the state of the free press when we were founded.
Still, that it’s getting worse (especially since the sexual devolution), it’s a possible symptom of a nation where some real knowledge of the Lord but has been common but that nation is departing from it.
