charting human depravity, thanks Google!

I had never seen this function on google before; Apparently it searches through books written over the last few centuries up to the current day and age for specific words. Once it finds the words it creates a graph charting their usage. I wasn't terribly surprised to see the steep decline for words such as justice, and liberty, integrity, prayer, God, nature, wisdom, love etc.

here are a few links

Then you can try a few such as cookies, sex, kill, hate, anger, masturbate, feeling, food, dollar, prostitute. I'm not a Christian, but that sure looks like depravity to me.

I think regardless of our faith, our minds have over the years become attached to our comforts and pleasures and lost sight of whats really important. The Founding Father's realized the outcome of this mentality and wrote much about it. Too bad they don't teach any of that in skoohl.
