» Carol Wallace - I doubt if there's one single cause

Even the most ardent Television researcher threw out the magic bullet theory years ago. TV may be one contributing factor, so might the lackof discipline in some schools - and think about the fact that today's kids are being raised by that generation that distrusted anyone over 30 and anyone representing "the establishment."

Roe vs. Wade....I'm serious. It taught our children that life can be discarded cheaply. It heralded a sexual revolution where we were taught that casual sex didn't have consequences (which it did and does). It also bred a mentality of avoiding responsibility for your actions.
