Is America Going Back on its Morals?

[John99]

Plato wrote: "Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers."

Not really immoral though. I suppose there is a fine line between morality and freedom but immorality should not be reserved to the powerful.

There is a poll option missing:

*what morals?

As you no doubt know the very phrasing of the question in the title of the thread should give away both the explicit morals - some idealistic image of the 50s should be a hint - and all the 'moral' actions behind the scenes of these dreams about the past. If you actually go ahead and list the morals it makes it too easy for people to point to the past of whatever golden age we are hallucinating and point out the inconsistancies.
