banned for I know humans are what they are, age aside. I don't believe we're going to fall into anarchy. I don't believe things are worse now than they ever were. Humanity has had revolution, poverty, and war throughout its history and civilization has never broken down to the point of humans nearly being wiped out or government totally disappearing. Humanity falls just short of being able to do that to itself.
That all said, I do believe that people need to be willing to wipe the slate clean in hopes of retunring better than before. It's always going to be temporary, but it's better to hope for a year of peace than submit to a lifetime of misery.
