It isn't just your imagination.  We really are witnessing a full-blown societal meltdown. 

Earlier today, a song entitled "We Don't Need Another Hero" popped into my head.  Of course that song was recorded by Tina Turner for a 1985 film called "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" which featured Mel Gibson in his prime.  I hadn't thought about that song for many years, and so I pulled it up on YouTube and listened to it.  Needless to say, it really is a great song.  But why would I be thinking about it today?  There had to be another reason.  I started going through the news, and I quickly realized what that reason was. 

In the United States today, there are millions upon millions of people that are completely and utterly lawless.  We really have become a "Mad Max society", and the future of our country is going to be exceedingly bleak if we continue going down this road.

I could provide countless examples to prove my point, but for this article I have selected just 10.

The following are 10 examples from 10 different cities of the "Mad Max" environment that now reigns in America's streets…

#1 Theft has become so rampant in Washington D.C. that CVS has replaced toilet paper and paper towels with "framed photos" of those products and a buzzer that customers must press to buy them…

Witness a CVS store in our nation's capital, forced by rampant, serial theft to pull toilet paper and paper towels from the shelves, replacing them with framed photos of the missing products and a buzzer.

Customers trying to buy Charmin or Bounty must buzz to summon a clerk, who will (eventually) retrieve the precious commodity from a back room.

In other words, the capital of the most powerful nation in human history has been reduced to Third World-style security systems to sell basic goods.
