The senseless violence is making me cry.

[Half-Century Man]

8. I see it as signs of the breaking point, social stress fractures.

As the disparity between the dream we were promised and the reality we live widens, we, as a society, are under ever increasing stresses. As the stresses build, cracks appear in the thin veil of civilization, as we futilely lash out. This is happening around the World, in Europe, Asia, South America and North America.
I am worried we are reaching a breaking point. How the powerful are acting makes me suspect they think the same.
There have been revolts against the ruling classes thousands of times in the history of the world, However; there has never been a global revolt.

My testicles curl up into my body when I think that the largest religion on earth has been rabidly salivating for Armageddon for 2000 years now. Will people let the final straw be added to the load? In their religious zeal, will they allow the fuse to be lit?
