Your comment about the world becoming more barbaric made me reflect on my understanding of barbarism such as the Dark Ages and, of course, the Holocaust... and whether or not we are truly becoming less civilized as a people...
Then I remembered that I went to bed depressed last night, after watching Rwanda Hotel again. That particular, recent genocide has to be one of the worst (or best) examples of barbarism (carried out with machetes) in the history of the world.
So yeah, the world doesn't seem to be skipping a beat in the 'new and even more sadistic' ways to be evil to fellow human beings category. Consider the use of drones, depleted uranium and white phosphorus to murder people in the Middle East.
To be honest, I have to side with the homeowner in this situation.
