So....that leads to the kind of things we see today. I will say that in the South there seems to be more participation in our National Anthem but overall.....respect for a bunch of things in this country went down the tubes when our generation became adults and parents. It is getting worse.

I have to agree with you to a certain extent, I think culture has gone downhill since our generation came into its own.A definite coarsening of society. very self indulgent--just look at the ads: "Just Do It!!" So much for impulse control and respect for others.
Our generation was the one that sanctified rebellion against authority--what do we expect?
I think we're more the Peter Pan generation than anything else, refusal to grow up.
Stay good
