Using the phrase "sick society" to describe today's society is silly.

13. I would use the term, only for very different reasons

than the typical ones. I believe the fundamental structure of "civilization" is sick. When masses of people are constrained to live in boxes surrounded by blight, asphalt, and concrete, separated from arable land, cut of from clean water, forced into wage-slavery, while the most conniving, unprincipled, and unscrupulous members of society claim to "own" huge swaths of rich land and all of the rivers, streams, and springs upon it, we're living in a "sick society".

A sick society rewards the immoral and greediest in proportion to how effectively they can degrade the environment and turn the living earth into useless crap.

The whole enterprise is rotten to its core. But what can you do?
