I understand your "downfall of society" lament. I leave my keys in my car most everywhere I go. To this point, I have driven it to my next destination each time. Granted, I do not live in anything remotely approaching a big city.

It occurs to me that 350 million people can create a lot more lawlessness than 100 million. At one time, the story goes that God looked upon the earth and could find nothing upon it good. It rained. A lot. The idea that people were once better than they are now is dubious. More people...more trouble. Without question the America of 2016 is much different than of 1952. However, the "betterments" at least rival the "detriments."

There is more crime in this country right now in one day, than there used to be in a whole month back in 1952. According to Scripture, the state of man will be severely depraved just prior to the end. How does that scenario work with those Émile Coué rose colored glasses you're looking through?
