Look at what's going on in today's society...

Rappers get MORE cred when they get shot or end up in jail...

People don't want to "snitch" on criminals...

Dr. Ruth's motto is "If it feels good, do it."...

Sex & the City showed that being a whore is okay...You can always just call it it a "healthy sex life"...

The lady cop who just recently planned on suing the people she was trying to help because of a wet floor where they were keeping their non-breating baby whom they just took out of a pool...

People scream at other drivers because they were "inconveniently" in their way...

Paris Hilton is a role-model...Pat & Debbie Boone are laughed at...

The Sopranos are looked up to...The Gottis, Flavor Flav & that New York girl get their own shows...

More people know what Brad & Angelina are doing then their own Reps in Congress...

When a comedian says he does pot to start a story, he gets applause...

I could go on and on...
All very valid points. On the wonderful seesaw it is very difficult is not impossible to keep these things in balance especially when the fulcrum itself is on a seesaw.
