Society is already dysfunctional. Rising rates of functional illiteracy, complete lack of analytical thought, attention span geared to the time between TV commercials, it's a wreck. Most of law enforcement is geared to revenue gathering rather than pursuing real criminals. The rot is irreversable. Just look at how many eligable voters don't bother to vote and a large percentage that do vote according to the last campaign ad they see or hear or focus entirely on one issue rather than broad policy. From what I see here, our kilted bretheren are far more aware and better informed than the average, which is a bright spot in the mess.
