The Thin Veneer of
Civility: Today, more
and more people are committing some of the most heinous acts of violence. Crime rates are soaring
and brazen attacks are repeatedly occurring in broad daylight. Respect for our fellow man has ebbed
to an all-time low. Our federal government has joined the fray, as government agencies have stockpiled
massive caches of weapons and ammunition. Not only do the citizenry need to worry about the IRS hiring
and arming more agents, but the Environmental Protection Agency, which has been militarized since the
Reagan Administration, is intent on flexing tyrannical control. When an Amish farmer is raided and
fined an exorbitant amount of money for producing and selling organic foods; when California doctors
are threatened with losing their license to practice if they do not obey government “science;”
and when homeowners no longer control their own thermostats, tyrannical elites are proving that civility
is one step away from annihilation.
