Welcome to America Part I...Definitions.

A young lady sent me a term paper once on the horrors of abortion. Here words are what first ignited the question in my mind about just what a civilization really is. In all the 'correctness' I can muster I'll draw my first source of aid in explanation of the word from our ever-faithful American Language companion, Webter's Dictionary.
Main Entry:
civ·i·li·za·tion
Pronunciation:
\ˌsi-və-lə-ˈzā-shən\
Function:
noun
Date:
1772
1 a: a relatively high level of cultural and technological development ; specifically : the stage of cultural development at which writing and the keeping of written records is attained b: the culture characteristic of a particular time or place 2: the process of becoming civilized 3 a: refinement of thought, manners, or taste b: a situation of urban comfort.
Pay special attention to definition 2 and 3a, for they are more relative to civilizations original definition. (What I believe to be the actual definitions of civilization are listed 2nd and 3rd due to lack thereof I excuse). Let's even more especially look at number 2. To take this deeper let's define the word 'civilized.'
Main Entry:
civilized
Function:
adjective
Date:
1611
: characteristic of a state of civilization ; especially : characterized by taste, refinement, or restraint.
We see here characteristics of a civilization. Listed are: taste, refinement, and restraint, my favorite in this argument being restraint. Now, to go even more into depth on the word, let's take the prefix, 'civil.'
Main Entry:
civ·il
Pronunciation:
\ˈsi-vəl\
Function:
adjective
Etymology:
Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin civilis, from civis
Date:
14th century
1 a: of or relating to citizens b: of or relating to the state or its citizenry 2 a: civilized b: adequate in courtesy and politeness : mannerly 3 a: of, relating to, or based on civil law b: relating to private rights and to remedies sought by action or suit distinct from criminal proceedings c: established by law4: of, relating to, or involving the general public, their activities, needs, or ways, or civic affairs as distinguished from special (as military or religious) affairs5of time : based on the mean sun and legally recognized for use in ordinary affairs
synonyms civil, polite, courteous, gallant, chivalrous mean observant of the forms required by good breeding. civil often suggests little more than the avoidance of overt rudeness . polite commonly implies polish of speech and manners and sometimes suggests an absence of cordiality . courteous implies more actively considerate or dignified politeness . gallant and chivalrous imply courteous attentiveness especially to women. gallant suggests spirited and dashing behavior and ornate expressions of courtesy . chivalrous suggests high-minded and self-sacrificing behavior .
I put the whole lot on here this time, for this is the most important part of 'civilization' I'll be dealing with. Raise your hand if after reading this, you want to put on a disgusted face, look straight into the eyes of America and say, "And you call yourself a civilization!"
When does abortion, the murder of unborn babies, fall into play with any of these synonyms? When did the defilement of marriage by joining the same sex legally relate to any of these definitions? These are the biggies, but the list goes on. America is slowly but surely revealing their true self. Heathens. Cavemen wearing nice clothing and combing there hair. Animals. Heathens is a word that would make some Americans indignant. Very well then, I offer the definition of heathens.
Main Entry:
2heathen
Function:
noun
Inflected Form(s):
plural heathens or heathen
Date:
before 12th century
1 : an unconverted member of a people or nation that does not acknowledge the God of the Bible 2 : an uncivilized or irreligious person
There now you see. Welcome to America. And that isn't all I would call the citizens of America. Barbaric, is an adjective I would attribute to them. Think I'm being too severe once more? Again I give the meaning.
Main Entry:
bar·bar·ic
Pronunciation:
\bär-ˈber-ik, -ˈba-rik\
Function:
adjective
Date:
15th century
1 a: of, relating to, or characteristic of barbarians b: possessing or characteristic of a cultural level more complex than primitive savagery but less sophisticated than advanced civilization2 a: marked by a lack of restraint : wild b: having a bizarre, primitive, or unsophisticated quality3: barbarous 3
Note particulary, once again, definitions 2 and 3. In 2a we have that word restraint again or lack thereof. And in 3 we have another word, closely related enough that I can give it in conjunction to barbaric without dedicating another introductory paragraph.
Main Entry:
bar·ba·rous
Pronunciation:
\ˈbär-b(ə-)rəs\
Function:
adjective
Etymology:
Latin barbarus, from Greek barbaros foreign, ignorant
Date:
15th century
1 a: uncivilized b: lacking culture or refinement : philistine2: characterized by the occurrence of barbarisms 3: mercilessly harsh or cruel
Oh, but no! Barbarians are those who eat with there hands (just a 'leading up to' example, but hey America has finger foods galore!) or kill their children (uh oh) or fornicate (uh oh) or murder senselessly (uh oh) or walk around the streets half-naked (uh oh).
Do you see what we've become? Things that run our blood cold, the things of nightmares, that is reality. And we have made it that way, all by the due process of law. Come one come all, to the United States of America. Do I sound too serious? Good, remember the words of William Lloyd Garrison, "I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to moderation." And I'm not anti-America. I'm a sucker for it believe me. I love it, I'm scared for it. Help.
