What are the signs of a sick culture?
When the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country, and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population.
Dominance of males over females.
When the population looses faith in both the police and the courts.
High taxation is important and so is inflation of the currency, and the ratio of the productive to those on the public payroll.
Any law that is not enforced and can't be enforced weakens all other laws.
Violence. Muggins. Sniping. Arson. Bombing. Terrorism of any sort. Riots of course.
Conscription and slavery and arbitrary compulsion of all sorts. Imprisonment without bail and without speedy trial.
A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters.
Off Topic: Laws to sweep back the tide never work.
There are just two sorts of lawyers: those who spend their efforts making life easy for other people, and parasites.

Well I dont see the dominance of males over feemales...actually I'm seeing more of the reverse.
Lots of meek males and gruff overbearing females.

Estrogen is prevalent in the water system from years of dumping birth control pills and other hormones down the sink. They make their way back into the water. Filter your water before you drink it.

Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

Filter your water before you drink it. help me understand. Define prevalent. Which water system? When did it start? What is the trend? Which municipal water systems do not filter? Which filter systems work for estrogen?

Here's an article that give a summary of the problem: https://www.scientificamerican.com/arti ... er-supply/Filtering doesn't reeeealy work all that well. Still, I might be more concerned with the fire retardants that have been found in most municiple water supplies. https://theintercept.com/2015/12/16/tox ... with-pfcs/

I’ve heard that too. Also, when a women pees the unused estrogen is flushed from the body. We should ban peeing by women on the pill.

According to the linked article " Of the many different kinds of in-home water filtration systems available today, only those employing reverse osmosis have been shown to filter out some drugs." Which is like saying to avoid the risk of catching on fire from fireballs from space we should all wear asbestos clothes.

It also says "according to USGS, such chemicals and medications are so diluted—at levels equal to a thimble full of water in an Olympic-sized swimming pool—that they do not pose a health threat." So...not prevalent...

And yet aquatic animals are being affected. Newsweek posted articles about frogs flipping sex as a response to exposure. The same article above says that even the "trace amounts" may have effects (decades of exposure...). Depends on who you ask... looking at that Hogg fellow and his ilk, at the early onset of menstruation in kids, lower spermcounts, lower libido gynocomastia https://chestsculpting.com/the-dangers- ... ing-water/https://news.nationalgeographic.com/new ... -fish.htmlYeah, just trace amounts... like the trace amounts of Fukushima radiation. Trace amounts over DECADES... but nothing to see here folks... just move along; you're killing profits.
