Somebody above asked "what do you do, go vote?"

Simple answer: Be the change you want to see.

Treat people decently. Take responsibility for yourself. Don't put up with BS. Etc.

A while ago I started a discussion about the Bull Float. Drunk lewd obnoxious behavior taking over a state park swimming beach. Most of the people here said "who cares?"

We've ceded our good sense to so-called "freedom" and the "who cares?" mentality. We are free to be drunken fools in public! in plain view and earshot of children.

Who cares?

I guess I'm part of the problem, I posted something on an anonymous message board and forgot about it. Instead I should have written a letter to the park ranger.

Too many directions going at once!

Nah. There's those who can rip on each other without hating, and there's those who feel compelled to jump in and declare someone a jackass when THEY perceive a line being crossed.

The "direction" is constant, but perceptions fly off in all directions.

I'll admit, I have it pretty good right now....business is going good and for me things are looking up regardless of the overall economy. I also consider myself extremely fortunate to be born in this country. I know that most people in foreign countries still strive to be American citizens.Moral compass meaning North as a true standard, our standards are lowering every day. I firmly believe it will have a negative effect on this country.I'm not trying to be all "Westboro" on you but the moral decline CANT be any good in this country when this happens:http://www.secretsofthefed.com/parents-common-core-teaching-11-year-old-nsfw/This chic has more Snap-On Tools than a Detroit auto repair facility...I'm not posting the pics on here because of what you will see. Remember, this is not a J-Lo or Madonna video, its a PUBLIC SCHOOL system sex education class for 6th graders. Paid for by tax dollars. I don't believe you would want your niece or nephew seeing this in your public school system.

But Mitch...is this a common thing in public schools, or is it getting attention because it's so over the top and unheard of? With however many hundreds of thousands or millions of public schools in America, statistically something really stupid and obnoxious is going to happen now and then, and thanks to our Information Age, when it does, it does not go unnoticed. Is all this really a nationwide public school curriculum, or one idiotic teacher taking things to extremes?

Here's the real problem...the incredible number of teenage unwed pregnancies, leading to poorly educated mothers raising (usually by themselves or with family members) children who already have one strike against them...and a society that takes it as a matter of course that a significant percentage of teenage girls will get pregnant. Parents abdicating THEIR responsibility for teaching sex education and sexual morality, and expecting the schools to do it. A society whose media glorifies and saturates us with sexual themes, leading to 12 year old girls thinking they have to be "sexy" to be popular. That's what we should be outraged about, but it's so common and pervasive that we can't work up any outrage anymore about it, we can only get outraged at the stuff that is so rare and over the top that we just can't believe it happened.
