How many of them are still around today wise guy?

I am not a boomer, but I'd put them or previous generations well ahead of the mindless social media fools who can't even answer the basic of questions.
Yet, if asked about some insignificant Hollywood actress, TikTok idiot, musician etc., they know that rubbish like it was actually important.

Our American society/culture is coming apart at the seams, and much of it is intentionally be driven by leftists in that direction.

There is a difference however between understanding that legalization doesn't mean encouraging it.
For starters, prostitutes in the shadows is a far cry from legalization, or even tacit approval. Do you really want to have young girls decide being a hooker is an acceptable life to lead?

Most of the citizens and Founding Fathers were religious, and even though they did not want the government to mandate a state religion, they also didn't want us to become a Godless society. Even non-believers have admitted religion serves as a moral guide for many people in this country, and without it (carrot or stick) many more people would be harming society.

Religion is just a way to control the masses.
