All I'm saying is that the America that never used foul language and never had the occassional schtup out of marriage and didn't have perverts, child molesters, etc. never existed. In fact in many ways, America is a better place today than it was then.

But we did live in a society that did not tolerate FUs spouted by students to teachers. Or kids wearing their pants so their asses hang out.

Now, too many places expel a kid for a pocket knife, for craps sake. When I was a kid, we used to ride our bikes to the outskirts of town with .22 rifles strapped on our backs to hunt rabbits.

The confluence of politically correct hypersensivity and garbage from the MSM makes for a cauldron of instability in many places now.

We all screw up we are all sinners.
BUT WE MUST ALL KEEP TRYING...
An 80% solution is better than a 100% that is never realized.
