   There's a moment in the Joseph Campbell power of Myth video series where
Moyers asks Campbell what he thinks will become of the world if a new
mythology (religion) doesn't take hold in the modern world.  Campbell
responds, " Why just look at the New York Times on any given day. There's
your result of a lack of an overiding mythology" 

    embarrasssingly old hat?  Hmmmm.... More embarrsssing than the state of
modern humanity?
