In Lila Pirsig talks about NYC as a city going to hell, as the quality of
thing disintegrates but somehow never gets there. 
Social dramatic changes never seem to happen anymore. We have 2 political
parties that feed at the same trough. Once the election is over, we are
back to the status quo.
Things like the economic collapse of 1939 won't happen again, things will
get bad and stagnate but no collapse. No change. And that goes for the
social and political agenda. We will have a shift here and there, but no
major changes. Has the pendulum gotten too heavy to swing anymore.
