"I think it was nicer even in the 30's and 40's. Even during the Depression, there wasn't crime like this. People still wanted to work and be respectable. Now they just want a hand-out."

I was born in 54, so the only first hand perspective is my life on earth. My dad, however, taught me what you are conveying to us.

I know just about everything second hand. It was nice in the early 80's while I was growing up, but I remember everything subtly starting to change some time around the late 80's or so. I think that was just when it really started to become un-ignorable, though. It had been building for decades.
