We've been around 230 years which is a fair amount of time to make a comparison. Look at now and compare it with that time span (1776-2006). So my question is: American morality-are we in the worst of times or best of times? If not the best of times now, what time period was America's morality heyday?

The probability is fairly high that humans will extinguish themselves as they have other species in the next 20 years.
I would say we are in precarious times because the oil owns the morals of our country. We go to war for oil money, we destroy the environment for oil money, we devalue human life for oil money, we buy religious leaders for oil money and we are likely to die from global effects of oil money.
We are not likely go die from conventional terrorists but by terrorists who create weapons grade viruses, weapons grade small pox or other designer diseases and develop vac sines that are only provided to a select few. The people who made their money from oil and health care may control this but they may not.

I'd say the worst of times. Other than slavery, I think 18th and early 19th century America had better morals in pretty much everything. Being a proper gentleman or lady was the norm, not a rarity as in today's MTV world.

I think we are at a low. but I don't know exactly when the best was. One hundred years ago at Azusa street the pentecostal movement began again and that was a good time. I like your avatar by the way.

About 100 years ago was probably the peak.
It never was super high.
It is TUMBLING VERY VERY RAPIDLY NOW with all the TRAINING FILMS on TV, Movies, Comics, Hollywood -everywhere.
