Echarse a temblar
Hola a todos,
Hace mucho que no he entrado aquí, durante cual os he echado muchisimo a menos como comenté a Lou Ann el otro día. A David, Rusty, Poli, Sosia, Elaina y los demás (perdonadme por no incluir vuestros nombres, que soís muchos) Para repartir entre todos. Bueno, estoy de vuelta y espero participar más... Ahora bien, ¿como traduciraís esto a ingles?; Cuando la sociedad se estupidiza, hay que echarse a temblar. Un cordial saludo y por favor, corrijeíd mis errores, seguro que abundan.

I would say: When society shows signs of increased stupidity, it's time to worry. (I use increased signs because society always seems kind of stupid--but it's true that when it gets noticeably stupider, it gets worrisome.)

The sentence means that one has to fear that society lacks education.
My proposal: When society becomes idiotic, one has to start trembling.

Jane, where did you see this? If it's in an article or something, is the rest just as interesting?

Welcome back Jane........you have been missed indeed!
I agree with all the translations that have been presented. And I also agree that none is more truer (bad English).....
