I do not know what the solution is, but society has definately degraded the past 50 years...
I would have made a good Anna Nicole, I am fat, I can get a blonde wig, and I can gets drunk and act obnoxios!

i think about this quite a bit. the pace at which everything evolves in our society and the fact that in most cutural senses, it seems to be more a case of de-evolution.
America is not built on a 1000-2000 years of traditions that permeate every part of society. It was founded on the opposite idea of escaping and forgetting the past (of europe and elsewhere), on a "new beginning", "starting over" and in fact, America was founded more on the "Me Me Me" principle which is the exact opposite of most other places in the world... where life is centered around other things like "family" "God" or "country"
this is what i was meaning when i was saying several months ago about excessive "freedom" yielding unintended results. with "freedom" comes a complete lack of standards and traditions and encourages change away from those traditions and standards.
but... thats not to say i dont want to see you in a leather panties and a blond wig.
