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.
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?

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.

Maybe a revolution will be inspired 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.

It may be up to your generation to do it.
We, of the past did a lousy job. Even though we survived the Great Depression and WW II.

Everything goes through some kind of evolution, and what you call "decay" is nothing more than a society that keeps evolving.

Decay of our society are caused by the scums in the parliments and not by the people who lived in that area... think about it.

People do care, but there's not enough that do. The ones that can do something about it want to know where is the money going to come from to fill their wallets.
