I ask my self, would our ancestors have put up with what we have now.
My mind wanders back to some old Viking village..when all of a sudden a bunch of people gather in the middle of the village and begin to burn huts, steal from ordinary people, kill and maim.
Do you think the elders would have gathered and lopped off the heads of these misfits, or would they just allow it to happen?
I'm thinking the normal folks would have nipped it in the bud. I may be wrong on this, but, I'm thinking the old concept of stewardship for the clan/community/culture would have kicked in and the problem would have been dealt with.
But, we are civilized now and have surrendered our stewardship to those we chose to represent us.
What's your take on this?
Am I too old fashion?
