"Few Gen-Xers ever picked either of these Bozos as our spokesmen, It was the Baby Boomer writers & suits who gave them that title and forced them on us."
Bump to that.
I also loved this aside in the article:
"Hillary Duff (who hasnt sold out yet)"
ROFLMAO. Working for Disney until you're 18, being a Mouseketeer, and doing teensploitation flicks like "Cinderella Story," that's just "stickin' it to the man!"

"...if America's government could fully deal with Islamist terrorism, illegal immigration, and the gross overreach of the federal government, some sleazy singers wouldn't be a big problem. Conversely, ending sleaze and various forms of "immorality" would not do a thing to help terrorism, illegal immigration, or any other of the serious issues with which our government needs to concern itself." But...but...he told me if I cancelled my Playboy subscription I'd be helping the war on terror! DAMMIT, Pat Robertson lied to me AGAIN!

you know, I think it is a right of passage for the elder generation to BITCH about the younger generation.
It has probably been going on for as long as there have been generations....

Until we run the proponents of Sex Positive teaching out of the schools and libraries (no such thing as "age appropriate" and they consider abstinence to be unhealthy as it is a denial of sexual desires), we will continue on our HOV lane to Babylon.
http://www.allaboutsex.org shows just what these critters are up to (they threw in the towel in advancing the agenda because people gave them some grief, they leave the site up to link to institutional proponents of sexually active minors).
Michael Medved was talking this week about the mature things being pushed on pre-pubescent children with principals and school boards defending the materials. Do pre-kindergarten students really need to learn about semen and its role in AIDS/HIV?

I have never read "60%". But I have read that of first marriages, quite a bit less than 50% fail; what brings up the average of failure is the fact that those who divorce and re-marry often divorce and re-marry again, sometimes several times.

This approach has left my generation plagued with moral relativism, narcissism, and many other unintended consequences that the hippie generation is unwilling to take responsibility for and which the aging leftists that now control academia are still trying to promote. By detailing this, Shapiro provides the slap in the face that America needs. The good news is both Gen-X & Gen-Y are rejecting the decadent baby boomer ways and despite all the crap you see on T.V. the country will be fine once we get the Baby Boomers out of power.

And this attitude dates back to Shakespeare.

If we leave names out of it, here's my summary:
1963 'The Pill' introduces us to sex without consequences.
1973 Roe Vs. Wade provides the ultimate 'backstop' to this mentality.
1973 Watergate provides an excuse to never respect our Nation's leaders again.
1980 Courts begin the long march to remove any vestiges of religion within public view.
1980 The fruits of 'consequence free sex' drive up divorce rates, increase the percentage of women in the workforce, and delay parenthood.
1980 With the increase of divorced parents now dating, more are inclined to serial dating, including exposing their kids to their casual sexual relationships.
1991 A decade after AIDS appears on the scene, homosexual groups increase efforts to "mainstream" their lifestyle, and insist a cure is necessary to minimize the stigma associated with homosexual behavior.
1996 Courts increase their role in undermining traditional morals, parental authority, and any tools that might otherwise be used to include discipline in the raising of children.
Today - The spiral into the sewer's accelerate at a blinding rate.

You're right, the gov't has bigger things to worry about. The people decide what type of culture they live in.

Ditto on the book review request.

"The people" as in the ACLU forcibly removing, on pain of lawsuit and millions of dollars, every symbol or remnant of religious expression in the entire country that isn't locked in a private home or in a house of worship?
Or do you mean leftist judges forcing, via their decisions from on high, "gay" marriage and the like?
Or perhaps you mean the ACLU teamed up with porn magnates forcing porn shops and strip clubs to be in our neighborhoods?
Or maybe you mean the people in Hollywood determining that we must indeed view execrable obscenity, vile language, and offensiveness of every description as the daily fare that passes for entertainment? Or maybe the media executives who lie? Those people?
I know, you mean the rap "artistes" that kids listen to, and the people who invent that gang and slut fashions the every kid wears since it's virtually impossible to buy anything else.
Are these the people you mean?
