What were people thinking about in the days of Noah?

Les explains that this description of Noah's day shows a people whose entire focus was on evil. He compares it to people always trying to beat the system—like farmers who would sit in a coffee shop and figure out a way around a new farm plan. As soon as enough people get away with it, the legislature has to pass another law, and the cycle continues. But back in Noah's time, Les says, that's all they could think about: how to be wicked in some other way. The earth was corrupt, and Les describes corruption as something vile, like a rotten potato that smells to high heaven and you don't even want to touch. It was also filled with violence, and the two—corruption and violence—went hand in hand.
