Re: What Have We Done Wrong?

Jambutty, I do know about the effects of war on both society and families, as my own Grandfather was killed aged twenty two, whilst my Grandmother was pregnant with my Mum, and like it was for a lot of people, life was a struggle.

This still doesn't answer how society got as bad as you think it apparently is. As each generation is parented by the previous one. Somewhere back in the halcyon mists of history, when we could all leave our doors unlocked, and the worst people feared was a clip round the ear from the local Bobbie, these people must have been somewhat lacking in skill as parents, and the teaching of respect, because we can only learn from example.
