George Santayana was right.

[4-2-7]

Thinking of the German people.
When your starving cold and selling you body, to hell with morality.

That was the point I have been trying to make. As peoples acceptance gradually changes we move the morality compass. Under duress it can move rapidly to such vulgar heights we would not recognize humanity.

Some things we do today would never have been considered moral 100 years ago. A gradual change happen little by little and numbs us. As a people we justify our own actions until they are right or the truth.

My comment in post 15

"No but I have seen a big change in this country in my lifetime. I see more people not following any religion at all. Is it good for the country I don't know. Has the country evolved into what I can only call a lack of moralities yes. Is it more to do with the lack of religion or parenting?"

Now I'm not saying everything is bad, and this country has done pretty damn good in morality. But I do see some distress in our society and something is lacking with our youth.

Religion and or Parenting has always been the teacher of morals throughout time. Are we lacking?
I like to look to history because as humans we tend to repeat the mistakes of the past.
