A good indication of this is if you watch an old movie anywhere in the range of the 1930-1940. People spoke with more respect to one another.

At one time, if there was a problem in the neighborhood, especially concerning kids, the adults would sit down for coffee and have a talk.

Times have changed, and we won't get them back.

However one thing we can do is acknowledge and realize the difference. Awareness is the first step to slow down this weird tangent we seem to be on.

Thank you for your comments... I read them with peaked interest. You said it well.
