Re: Decline of Values?
Yes there are cycles throughout history. All empires fall at some point and regrettably we will probably follow suit. There are many good books on the subject.
I just don't find the moral decline as obvious as some on this board. Just because we said 'yes sir' and 'no thank you' more during the 50's and 60's doesn't mean we were more moral. As i mentioned you only need to look at how we treated others (blacks, American Indians, etc.) or how women were not considered equals in the business world (etc.) to know that perhaps the 'morality' was only superficial. But if that is what you mean by moral then I agree with you, maybe we were more kind on the surface.
