The problem is that we as a society have basically lost our way and said its OK to do whatever feels good. We have lost our moral convictions, and are not teaching our kids the right way to act and then expecting...demanding that they act that way. We certainly haven't led by example. Just look at the divorce rate. Marriage ain't no big whup, just change spouses as if they were underwear. That is if the spouses decide to get married at all. Also look at what we deem acceptable on television and in the movies. Not exactly something to stand up and be proud of.

When I was growing up I felt like the US just wouldn't go the way of previous great civilizations like the Roman Empire. But we, like they did, are rotting from within and unless we come to our senses and turn things around we will implode just like they did.
