You exaggerate the bad of 50 years ago, while ignoring the good. The fact is, every era has it's evils. That's humanity. But there is no arguing that America of today is more violent, more immoral and more against God. Not exactly something to long for.

When it was okay to hit your wife, "if she really deserved it." When it was just fine to tie a laboring woman down and commit acts that in any other context would be considered sexual assault.

We'll stop giving kids grades in school soon, too. I'm actually bothered that Upward basketball does this (at least at my church). Seems like a missed opportunity to teach kids about being gracious winners and losers. Success and failure, victory and defeat will happen all through our lives. It is a sad thing that we don't teach our kids how to handle it. My son plays very competitive baseball at age ten. We have had some intense highs and lows. I would not trade the fun as well as the difficult "teachable moments" for anything. Punishing kids for doing well (losing if you win by too much) is ridiculous. This drives me crazy.
