We have completely lost our moral compass. We are not just losing morals, we are losing civility, we are self centered with little to no regard to anyone or anything we feel does not give us pleasure.

Now, now... I don't believe we have lost our moral compass. I believe instead that most folks just never had one to begin with, and when they saw there were no longer any adults in the room to supervise them, they just went wild with it, right off the rails.

When the worst among us saw that they would not suffer any sanctions, and that instead their victims would be punished, they just ran with that... and now they are howling like petulant, unsupervised children that those days may have come to an end.

I think Elon Musk would do well to study how Rogue-Nation3 is operated, and emulate that at his new acquisition. We have free speech here, but there are limits. Those limits are reached only when attacking another member rather than their message. Other than that, sound off on whatever you want, make your thoughts known. Folks may, and will, take exception to your ideas, but they are not allowed to take exception to YOU. They can debate all day, but they'd damned well better debate the merits of the idea, not rail against the messenger.

Maybe @Ninurta knows where I can find a nice cave that I can be sealed into. Wake me in one hundred years.

Actual, I do. there's one right above and behind my house on the mountain. Unfortunately, I will not be alive to awaken you, but I can leave instructions. I would hope that one of your first actions after the wakening would be to visit my grave on the opposite ridge, shake your head, and say "well I'll be damned! The old bastard really DID go down fighting, and all he had left to fight with was his cane!"
