Hello and welcome to the latest Round Table Episode of Eclectic ChitChat!  

Sadly, we are still bereft of Slade's presence, soon he shall make his return.  Regardless, we continue onward! 

We have put the aspect of modern dating to rest and pivoted to western (American) society and the degradation thereof. There will be some parallels between both series, due to similar issues being present in each arena.   

Our first foray into this concept settled upon the idea of "Lost Personal Responsibility" and the entities and systems partially responsible for it.   

We get some tinfoil thrown in at my profession's expense; I personally feel we threaded the needle very well between quackery and objective facts regarding the topic.   NUANCE ATTAINED!!
