Civilization, which is held together by a fragile web of tactful phrasing, 
polite omissions and white lies, would collapse in an apocalypse of 
bitter recriminations and weeping, breakups and fistfights, 
divorces and bankruptcies, scandals and resignations, 
blood feuds, litigation, wholesale slaughter in the streets and lingering ill will.
