Whether the article is to start rumors or not I think is kind of irrelevant. The substance of the article that T Bone snipped to is far more important, and I belive that its point is well founded.
Look around you, school kids mugging pensioners, swearing with disregard (OR in most cases just accepting it as part and parcel of life). Violence and general unpleasantness being part and parcel of daily life.
We all know that sooner or later our society is going to collapse, to be replaced with something else (eventually that something else may end up being better then what came before). Its just a case of when.
Dear Goddess I feel crap this morning :-(
