Violent crime is actually down, and life expectancy has never been longer. Old prejudices are being shed, and we are slowly working towards euqal rights for all under the law.
The idea that the world is worse than it's ever been is just a myth propagated by those that morbidly wish armageddon would come before their eyes, like a Chrisitan waiting for their savior to come down from the heavens to smite his enemies.
it is much easier to lead a "flock" who thinks the world is ending thus making their dooms day predictions meaningful. Of course they are not actually meaningful.
I know I sleep good at night knowing the world will go on without me when I am gone. Takes a lot of pressure off of me to have to be everything for everybody all the time like I see a lot of religious people trying to do. It doesn't work and robs one of the self in the end.
