Socrates said, when does the decline of society begin:

* When the stupid are louder than the wise,
* When the lazy have more than the industriuous
* When the unscrupulous are respected more than the honest,
* When those who have none preach morality,
* When character counts less than reputation,
* When children are no longer allowed to be children,
* When perpetrators are more protected than victims,
* When madness is glorified as normal,
* When politicians live not for the people, but off the people.

Said 2400 years ago and still valid today!

This terrorizing our communities has to stop.”
