One thing we did have in abundance then that is in short supply today, shame. No one has it any more, from the president on down.

Shame requires that one have grasped the concept of personal responsibility for one's actions.

Now, everyone is a victim, so he/she is not responsible for their actions. They can blame someone else. Hence, no shame.

I agree. I think it started with Clinton. Lack of shame, candor, humility, standards became the new normal. Your current leadership has taken this to a whole new level.
