I've been watching it come and go for some time now. Twenty years and the face of existence has changed dramatically. Everybody's got an answer for everything now, which means that no one knows what they are talking about. Usually, this means it descends into a shouting match, or a shooting match, depending on where you are.
It is a very short article, but VERY difficult or impossible to find online. It came out in a Tom Wolfe book and it is titled, “Oh Rotten Gotham, Sliding Down the Behavioral Sink.” (I've mentioned it before). Here is a good article on it. It dealt with a lab experiment on overcrowding and it used rats as its subjects. The one thing I remember most vividly from the article is that when the rat population reaches a certain point, the alpha rats lose interest in the females and rape the young males. The human parallel is 'life in the city'.
Nature does an automatic culling of the human race when certain behavior traits become more pervasive than... (God wants it to be?) It is really about a mechanical adjustment in the way life traffics with itself. When things go out of balance, they are brought back into balance, by whatever force is necessary. We can see the imbalance easily these days, though some would call it progress, and maybe that is why they are called Progressives?
