The REAL problem is the collapse of the family and an implosion of morals, all driven by pride and selfishness. But fixing that hinges on individuals looking into their mirrors and soul searching, and cleaning one's own house.
This is hard work, and frankly Jesus himself said "Why do you notice the splinter in your brothers eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, Let me remove that splinter from your eye, while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brothers eye."
I am not suggesting silence in the face of filth. Indeed, I will monitor what comes into my home, and rest assured Ms. Grande's tunes and similar vapid "entertainment" aren't to be found anywhere in Casa de DoodleBob.
But I AM suggesting that the likes of Ms. Barnhardt do their homework before making those of us who MAY be culture warriors look like dopes-by-association.
Agreed, it didn't start with Ariana Grande.
Very few eight year-olds in the Die Walküre audiences. In fact there are very few in the NYC Die Walküre audiences under 30 years old.
