"What is one of Kipling's copybook headings that applies to recent public opinion?"
This work of Kipling's speaks of how people wish to stick with their childish fancies. This childishness then leads to death, as experience and truth finds them. The copybook heading in this, which I see very much applying to recent public opinion is, "The Wages of Sin is Death." People wish to do as their foolish religion, whether it be one created by another or a religion of their own mind, says is fine, despite history showing what happens when you live in a fantasy of your own creation, as to the definitions of right and wrong. Whether it be coming to the defense of gays, adultery, divorcing your husband/wife because "you will be happier", though it ends in total annihilation of trust and stability that their children and families have in them, etc., it all leads to this conclusion that brings unwanted consequences.
"The Wages of Sin is Death."
