By the way, your hanging preposition is perfectly revolting.
It's the sheer, smug, wilfully-ignorant amorality of it I find so terrifying. We really have become so cosy and secure that we've lost all vestige of 'the tragic sense of life'. We think we are immune to history and have forgotten the key lesson of the 20th Century - that absolutely everything you think you have can be swept away if you aren't prepared to defend it or are happy to trade it for short term gain.

Depressing. We are fūcked.
