Re: Latest update of PFT's "Police Blotter" ..see how our noble athletes are doing.
And they are right, if one reads history.
You must see that a tipping point is neigh. Things happening today were largely unknown in general society when I was a lad. Here's a short list:
cameras everywhere
school shootings
gambling casinos
ubiquitous anti-theft packaging
armed police escorting sports coaches
road rage
workplace shootings
drug violence ripping cities asunder
drug use by kids
children committing suicide
explicit sex on cable tv
robbers shooting victims over 5 bucks
kids with who knows how many "parents" due to divorce rates
grandparents all over the nation raising kids
the decline in vocabulary
honor roll status by quota
states running numbers rackets
remedial courses needed for incoming college freshmen
rampant classroom cheating
doping of kids with ritalin and the like
beatings of school teachers
political exploitation of young people
a billion dollar industry in home security systems and dead bolts
huge appetite for foreign goods - then casting blame for job loss
crude language at every turn
huge credit card debt
people buying houses with nothing down – banks forced to lend despite poor credit rating
the decline of the newspapers
chubby youngsters with heart disease and diabetes
people complaining about privacy while happily posting on YouTube, Facebook, etc
RIFD devices implanted in packaging
Data mining
Telemarketing
Ads everywhere
Parents getting their kids fingerprinted
ID theft
Overpasses requiring curved fencing
Painted grafitti everywhere
People rioting after a sports team victory
Burglaries while people are at funerals
Folks needing shredders
Police officers patrolling grade and high schools
Beatings on school buses
Identity theft.
Funny - when I was a kid, we all carried jack knives but we didn't stab each other. My lunch rooms were dripping with peanut butter sandwiches, yet nobody was croaking over allergic reactions. I recall one classmate - Paul - who had asthma. 12 years of public school... Our teachers were free to give us moral compass, we sang patriotic and religious songs, and nobody was thought to be damaged.
Then moral relativism, progressiveness hit. Violence hit the classrooms. Teachers who attempted to show children how to deport themselves in a civilized society were silenced. A society morphed from "We" and "Ours", to "I" and "Mine".
I don't know your age, but it seems you don't know how things once were. Sad.
Oh - don't raise the plight of the Negro - I'll give you a load about of how the Dem party engineered racial subjugation for the last couple of centuries. For a starter, investigate the Hayes -Tilden deadlock, the end of Reconstruction, and the Jim Crow laws. For a start.
Our Nation's moral underpinnings were tossed into the ditch. And see where we are now.
