An ominous warning was voiced by Laurence M. Gould, former president of Carleton College:
"I do not believe the greatest threat to our future is from bombs or guided missiles. I don’t think our civilization will die that way. I think it will die when we no longer care."
Arnold Toynbee, a British economic historian, has pointed out that 19 of 21 civilizations have died from within and not by conquest from without. There were no bands playing and flags waving when these civilizations decayed. It happened slowly, in the quiet and the dark when no one was aware; people become apathetic, ignoring the truth, as the slow evil of decay surrounds them.
A lie doesn't become a truth, a wrong doesn't become a right and a evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.
