Original Message "What are the marks of a sick culture?"

. . . abridged (by Bob God) from Friday by Robert A. Heinlein:

I took these quotes from one of my favorite Heinlein novels, Friday. They are all from a conversation between the main character and her "Boss." That conversation began with Friday's Boss asking her, "What are the marks of a sick culture?"

"It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population."

"A very bad sign. Particularism. It was once considered a Spanish vice but any country can fall sick with it. Dominance of males over females seems to be one of the symptoms."

"Before a revolution can take place, the population must loose faith in both the police and the courts."

Personal rudeness.

... and the number one symptom that we're living in a Sick Culture is -

Bad manners.

That ought to narrow it down for you!
