One generation builds upon the last generation. Morality and mores change. The influence of the media brings change while professing to simply mirror society. While every Saturday night, you wrestled with some young lady, the young men of today don't have to wrestle. The young "ladies" give it out freely.

The parents of the young "ladies" look at what their daughters wear and what they do, and excuse it by saying we did the same things or worse. They also say that we did those things and look at how we turned out.

As a consequence, the young "ladies" of today look like hookers and act like them. That is partially why marriage is on the skids in this nation.

The completely loosening of morality has produced a generation that freely uses all manner of drugs and practice free, unattached sex. This is the new generation. Hope you like it. The next generation should be really interesting, indeed, if the nation is still around.

Given that the teenagers of today are the kids of parents who came of age in the 70's, this isn't too surprising. But, like me, the next generation of kids will be kids of parents who grew up in the 80's when "Preppie" was "in" and it was "morning in America again". These things always go in cycles.

Reminds me of a song:

Someone played a trick on me
They set me up so perfectly
They gave me their morality
And then changed the rules except for me

Someone must be laugin' now
Although it don't seem funny somehow
How the world's accepting now
What they once would not allow
Back in my younger days
The world has changed in so many ways

-- "Halfway to Heaven" Harry Chapin (1974)
