Actually the Civilized World went to the Bad long before Electricity became a common word.

One thing is Man does not belong living in large cities but should have remained in Villages and small towns and living an Agrarian lifestyle if possible.

One thing I believe for certain is that Cities like New York and Chicago et al. are very very bad for people in general.

Here is something to consider, I believe that if I, being a white man had to chose between living in an American Black Ghetto like Harlem or Watts or living in Africa in a Masai Village or probably also a Zulu Village I would be a lot and I mean a LOT safer living with and trusting an African Tribe by living with them in a Village then by living among American Blacks in their Ghetto.

I do not know very much about the Masai or Zulu but what I do know I like.

Another way Civilization went wrong is this entire idea of Mixing Races or Cultures, and the United States is at the lead in this collective stupidity.

The Great Melting Pot of the United States was doomed to failure from the very beginning.

In truth Western Europe is actually ahead of the United States in seeing the folly of inviting People of vastly different and incompatible Cultures including Religions to live among them.

As an example Islam is totally incompatible with Christianity and Judaism and Western Europe is now witnessing the inevitable outcome of Muslims moving into a Christian Country.

I don't know about anyone else but I for one love dogs and I do not want to live next to people who consider Dogs to be good eating and the same goes for Cats.

I also know people who are horse owners and who have had City People move next to them and the City People cause nothing but problems over everything having to do with horses.

One person even got upset just because he could see the horses in the neighbors pasture, he said it ruined his view of the trees behind his new home.

So this is not just an issue of Race, Color, National Origin or Religion it is also about anyone who is totally incompatible with his neighbors.

Whomever got there first should be able to have a say in who moves into his Neighborhood.

And there are a lot of other mistakes that have been made but these I believe are the very biggest mistakes that man has made on his road to Civilization.
