"And the woman which thou sawest, is the great city, which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth." Apoc. 17: 18 The great city could be Rome, but it could also be NYC. In a sense America has spread its filth into all the world, and it all starts with New York, not Hollywood, L.A., or any other city. Even in the 1800's New York City was engaging in back door abortions by the thousands, tens of thousands. If a fαℓѕє fℓαg occurs off the coast of NYC it would melt the market as well - goodbye Wall Street.
