Um... actually, my point was that one man's decline might be another's
progress. I feel that if most people take a long, hard, honest look at
life in the 1940's and 50's, they would find that public morality was
really not all that different, and probably-- if you factor in racism,
child-abuse, wife-abuse, alcoholism, juvenile delinquency, gangs, etc--
worse. It's also interesting to consider that the rate of teen
pregnancy rose in proportion to the increase in average age at
marriage-- so people were having just as much sex, but they were waiting
longer to make a formal commitment.
It's also very hard for me to believe that an era in which it was
publicly acceptable to have "whites only" restaurants and where it was
nobody's business but your own if you beat your wife and kids, had
anything over contemporary morality.
But I guess fewer people go to church....
