Browsing a magazine this other day, I see some of the victims of natural disasters... I feel sorry for them...
I turn the page...
I see beautiful models dressed in very expensive clothing on the catwalk...
What am I supposed to feel?
Death, sickness, poverty on one side of the page...
Glamor, beauty, money on the other...
I figure they're just out there to kill our conscience... It is only our conscience that keeps us human and if that is dead we're no better than animals...
Considering what is going on is several parts of the world, I believe it just a lack of conscience and nothing else.. We are deteriorating (for lack of a better word... darn there's no proper opposite of Darwinism/Evolution)...
I just hope we can keep our conscience in tact... You're being attacked from everywhere... and soon your conscience will die... like it has died for the rest...

btw what is the dictionary meaning of the word 'degringolade'?:p
The element of humour surpasses noone. Even in the most dire places. Even where there is really no need for it. If that's not called losing conscience, I don't know what is.
Rest assured, corporatism, if there is such a word, sucks ass. As does consumerism.
Actually, humor is not a part of conscience at all... In fact, humor plays a part in destroying the conscience... There are many examples of this...
Looks like our friend here has had her fair share of long words... Maybe we should be on the qui vive?
