Rome, and nearly every great civilization has fallen more from within than from without; the rot had been spreading long before the enemy arrived at the gates. The Romans themselves had lost their ideals and had become barbarians in their own way.
The barbarians threaten us today. Yet today’s barbarians are not wild looking hairy conquerors lurking just outside our borders, ready to sack our cities, carry citizens off into slavery and burden us with heavy tribute.
Today’s barbarians live amongst us, dress like us and use our language. Yet they poison our minds with junk science and damage our society with unconstitutional laws. They are a meddling bureaucracy, which includes government officials who believe they can and should, regulate any area of our lives they wish.
They are private agencies and special interest groups who push for laws and regulations to control others. They have forgotten the ideals of separation of power, rule of law, the sacredness of one’s being, property and personal beliefs—the ideals upon which civil society rest.
Many of today’s barbarians are the product of a school system whose purpose is to create conforming and socialization rather than inspire learning, creativity and education. How could a state employed teacher, certified by the state, using state approved texts, teaching state approved subjects, following a state approved syllabus teach students to become independent thinking citizens to question the status quo? These teachers are the product of the same “educational” system. Barbarians teaching our children to become barbarians.
Perhaps barbarian is not the right word. These are weak people we’re creating—followers who go along to get along and do not know how to think for themselves, question and speak up.
