I was about ready to agree then I noticed it was 5B Bob so I continued my usual ignoring.

Found this in a synopsis of the Democratic man on “The Republic”.
In other words, by embracing freedom and e******y, democratic man is forced to embrace relativism. If he recognizes that something is evil or good, that would instantly force him to arrange his life based on a hierarchy of values. That hierarchy would also apply then to political and social life. Without any hierarchy of values and giving himself over to relativism, he is then ruled by the strongest passion of the moment, a flame that is easily fanned in a time of mass-media.
If I recall correctly Socrates did not think the Democratic Man would be able to continue forever but at some moment in history fail. Perhaps we are reaching that threshold.
Also I wonder how we can say we have democracy when outlawry in the streets seems to be so prevalent in our society today. Burning and l**ting in the cities does not seem to be a peaceful democratic society to me.

No it isn't Fallenoak. But soon as in the distant future, things will become peaceful and in harmony.
