You certainly know how to hit the nail squarely on the head. I wonder as this thread grows how many will give your reply a "bump to the top". There is not doubt we are "Slouching towards Gomorra" having already arrived at Sodom. And today we have this marvelous medium, where we can blithely sit at our keyboards, in the comfort of our homes and offices, type out shock and dismay over this, pump out our chests,
SCREAM AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS, then yawn and go to bed satisfied we have done our duty as citizens of the republic.
From the sixties ...
"America! Where are you now?"
We look in the mirror and no longer see the monster.
Thank you for your thoughtful post and your kind words.
Somehow, I do not have much doubt that, sooner or later, this country will grow tired of its presently base and shallow culture. This may not happen any time soon --- purhaps, not until those born at the turn of this century grow up and trace their loneliness to the broken homes of their childhood.
I do believe that such time will come, however. At that turning point, will America still remember what is once was? That is the quesion that concerns me most.
