Relatively speaking, I would say it is.

I wouldn't, if we had that kind of society i would probably still be married. *shudders*

It's not that the problems were less, it's just that they were denied.

Cyclo, I agree very much. However, I was watching the History Channel last night, trying to bore myself to sleep P) and they were running the "Bible Code" special show, and it had some interesting things. And later, things related to the end of life as we know it. It has got me thinking, as a lot of it had to do with what was going on in the middle east right now.

Meh, the Bible Code is a joke. If I arrange any book of sufficient length in a regular fashion (same number of rows and columns on every page) and try to find words/dates/whatever, I'll be able to find it. Sheer probability proves this. Besides, they arbitrarily decided what language to use and the arrangement of symbols on the page. Sounds cool, but it's not if you think about it too much.

Of course, I understand this. They tried to disprove these things by taking matrixes out of Moby Dick. However, as longer, more complicated words and even sentences came along, it was impossible to find them elsewhere... yet.

I think what is messing the world up is not the change, it's the ever increasing rate of change. If we as a society keep allowing the family unit to break down because effiency and profits are more important then the family unit, then it's hard to say what will happen.

Agreed. I read something this week about the Kinsey reports' effect on family stability. Apparently, his whole study has been completely discredited, but our society's sexual mores are still based on them. This has led to the destruction of the family as it was known before the 60's. I can type up some of the article if anyone is interested.
