It used to be somewhat common for Americans to walk into each other’s homes, some people would knock and then walk inside giving a yell for the neighbor, keys left in the cars overnight, windows left open all day in an empty house with the gun racks showing through the living room window, bicycles left out in the yard, car windows left open while at the mall or anywhere else with the car doors unlocked and windows down, that world ended suddenly

It was "progressive," and coincided with the rebellion against God and Biblical faith and morality, which trend continues, so that even here we have posts opposing everything from corporeal discipline of children to making abortion an election issue, and even demeaning faith in God, esp. Biblical evangelical faith.
