Seems to me like it all boils down to responsibility. Where can a society go but down when it no longer means anything. Example: So many young black men father children out of wedlock, depart the scene, and taxpayers are tasked to provide for their upbringing. Women realize that the more children they have the bigger the welfare checks. Liberalism gone amuck. No one responsible for anything...unless you are a conservative. Then you are held accountable for things you have nothing to do with. Go figure.
Not that I disagree with what you said.
