You forgot one. How about honesty, honesty at home, business and government. Recent revelations regarding corporate fraud costing shareholders billions of dollars should be no surprise, because this kind of fraud starts at the top and seeps down to the masses. The top is government, where they lie and spin and play the numbers game with impunity. And America, as always, is showing the way. The old joke about you can you tell a politician is lying because his lips are moving is based on fact.

No, they don't kill babies or drink their blood, they are straight and they use the media (freedom of speech) to tell their lies and implement their agenda.

We are living in an age where nothing is what it seems. I am a doubter of almost everything. Lax morality is but a symptom of the rot at the top.

James > Don't you see what this all is doing to us?

I agree with you that morals have gone to hell but, like Phil, I believe that the government sets the standards. If the government is dishonest and hypocritical one cannot expect better from the people.

I suppose the reverse is also true but it's not for me to say it.
