I noticed during World War Two that kids -- especially boys -- whose fathers were away fighting the war were awfully hard for their mothers to handle. As some of the fathers came home again, many of them had had their fill of discipline and as a result, did not discipline their kids. And there were many broken families, with no fathers.
I think that a lot of the cultural and moral decay that has reached such depths today had at least some of its beginnings then and in those situational causes. In a simple phrase, the decline of discipline, especially the decline of self-discipline, as self-gratification has become both an obsession and a standard.
Rights have no responbilities except others' responsibility to guarantee us our rights to do, think, say, and have whatever we want.
