George, I wasn't speaking directly to you. Ya black and white thinking can be bad, so can washing everthing over with multiple shades of grey. There is no easy answer. Everyone has rights and everyone nowadays seems to think that we have the right to do whatever we choose and defend it till the bitter end. We don't seem very solution oriented as a society, just really goal drive, self gratification driven. Ya I am not liking society much. I don't like that people defend porn till the end, even tho it displays some of the most degrading, violent, disturbing behavior. Kids watch it, it has an effect on our society, but we defend it to the end for our own personal rights, no matter the bigger picture or effects it has on our society as a whole. I'm just using porn as one example, it isn't the end all be all.

I get that not everyone agrees with me, and that people's values are different. But we do not function as a whole unit, were so divided and separated, unfocused on anything except ourselves. It's a sad place to be. In my personal opinion i think its a big part of the problem. Yes generalizing a bit, but this reflects what I feel.

There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child, I think it hold some truth, but where is the village.
