Since that rebellious counterculture revolution of the late 60's/70's broken families, violence, promiscuity, crime "and overall decline of supporting education seems more evident then ever" as another has put it and has left us with many huge complicated problems. And to top it off, people are now called prudes simply for having any morals at all. Virtuosity is ridiculed and mocked. Our standards just keep dropping each decade don't they? At the rate we're going in a few decades people will be called "prudish" for being morally opposed to murder.
Why don't people care? Why aren't we as a country doing something about this? Why don't we learn from the mistakes of past civilizations so our society doesn't crumble, because that's what will happen not too far from now if these current attitudes keep up. Please don't let me down. I've been doing what I can, but as an individual I feel so weak and helpless-why can't you do the same?
Maybe a revolution will be inspired by Pope John Paul II. You don't have to be a Christian to have morals. If the legacy of Martin Luther King would be carried out that would be great too. Except...racism has always been a problem in our country-let's tackle the ones we know we're capable of solving first
