    If this quote is accurate, even in the most abstract of understandings, then modern western civilization is going to come to a crumbling conclusion by the end of the current generation. Of course, this is personal conjecture, but the evidence that I see in today’s young people and, more importantly, today’s young parents suggests that we are in trouble.

    You should see the end of the 2008 movie “The Kingdom.” This quote fits perfectly.
