Obviously I'm not saying I have answers...but will certainly agree that the last decade has been a decade of increasing hopelessness. My parents used to say TV poisoned minds now I'm telling my teens that it's cell phones, social media, and quite frankly our leaders saying right is wrong and wrong is right and man is woman and woman is man and on and on. Human beings in a sustainable civilized society require basic moral absolutes. Leadership in USA has gradually lost these absolutes until we're supposed to be tolerant of everyone and every thing but that's impossible when it comes to morals, crime, religion, and such. But there I go again, getting too religious so I'm hateful.
