We have more cowards today who explain everything away so they don't have to address the problems or worse are also enjoying the lack civility and care less about what our children will or are facing! That makes it just that more sad.

Sorry, but I think either your memory is selective...or you are unaware of what it was really like.
'Drunks' (particularly drunk drivers), were MUCH more tolerated...especially in smaller towns.
'Tolerated' and/or
'ignored' also, was child abuse (physical and sexual)...and rape by husbands of their wives.
Not to mention, covering for the small %...of bad law enforcement officers.
I could go on and on...but I think you get my point.
