So by your standards the downfall of western civilization is A-OK just as long as it is the free market that is inflicting the mortal wounds?
Where did I say that?
And where is the evidence that it is the free market that is to blame?
Or, for that matter, that the downfall of western civilization is at hand?
We were all teenagers...once. Remember?
We all did stuff that our parents didn't want us to do. Remember?
And when we became parents, our teenagers wanted to do stuff that we didn't want them to do. Remember?
In the end, the parents are responsible for their children. If, as you put it, a pre-pubescent girl wants to dress like a crack whore...well, in the natural order of things, that may be unpleasant to contemplate, but it's not a big surprise.
But that her parents would let her...well, now, that is a big surprise.
