Re: Seks ed taught to 4 yr old students
It can be very hard to get a macro-perspective on what is going on in the world, or the nation, or the church, or the anything, in any given era. Often times, patterns of degradation don't become apparent until it's too late. Being able to see otherwise invisible relations and interactions between variegated strata, and how an entire system might fail, requires an altogether too uncommon, interdisciplinary approach.
It is usually only in retrospect that we see how it all came down. But before the fall, few saw the signs, even fewer did anything about the signs, and when, as Upton Sinclair so famously put it, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!", it became the norm to just let things slide.
