Homosexuality and race issues are very good examples of this. It's only going to get worse.

I am an optimistic person, I don't see it getting much worse. We as adults need to take back the education of our children, we need to be more involved, we need to be responsible for what our children are taught in school and what they are watching or reading. We have become more of a "friend" than a parent, grand parent, or concerned adult as to what the youth of America are learning. We have lost our history of America, it has been distorted by the bleeding hearts within our schools and gov. We need to explain the need to understand the constitution, bill of rights and declaration. How government works and on and on.
It is amazing how many people are researching their "history", what about teaching the real history of the USA. Is great to know about your heritage, but that should include the birth of the USA.
We as honest hard working Americans need to ensure that the people we place in office understand what they are doing for us in office, it is OUR office that they sit in, it is OUR rules they need to follow.
Yes we have come along ways as a country/world, but we have also forgotten where it is that we have come from and I believe this is taking steps in the wrong direction. Sometimes I envy people who grew up in the 40's and 50's. It seems it was a time of being proud to be an American, sure there were issues however children knew that if they got into trouble at school that by the time they got home mom and dad knew, or if they were doing no good down the street that Miss Wilson would grab them by the ear and give them what-for and then take them home to get the what-for from their parents. We were proud of our troops and the many people who served for our freedom.
We have become sick and twisted, look at the movies, TV shows. We hunger for sex, violence and to see the pain of others.
Whatever happened to great shows of the 50's and 60's? Sometimes I wish for the days of my youth.
