When Did The Modern Era Begin? 1

The Modern Era became evident in the 1980's when the AIDS epidemic first surfaced.
The illness was greeted officially in the USA by the greater part of the political and politico-religious elites seeing it as a sign from their God (who and whatever that deity and idol might have been!)

It has changed now, but the underlying hatred merely morphs and changes it objectives.

Morality is a logical body and grammar of usage and belief which networks a community.
The response to AIDs was an eruption of amputation of parts of the body of society, and casting those parts beyond the pale officially. I believe the President himself sanctioned this view.

Although these parts of society have now been largely allowed re-entry into official society, our underlying fury at communality drives our murderous rampage through Nature and the World.
