This has been on my mind ever since the brouhaha over David Letterman’s crude joke about Sarah Palin’s daughter. It was just 50 years ago that you couldn’t show pregnant women on TV, Lucy and Dezi had to sleep in twin beds, and June Cleaver wore pearls while cooking dinner.
Nice women didn’t go into bars without a male escort, and showing too much cleavage was a no-no. Now we live in a society where crude, and what my Mom would call vulgar behavior, is not only common but considered the norm. read the rest at RightNow

IMHO this problem goes back a very long way, maybe a hundred years or so?
An example would be Prohibition, a time when Federal law was flouted by the general public and nobody was shocked. My grandmother used to make the booze for her daughter's parties, claimed it was better she provided it than some bootlegger. And her actions weren't at all uncommon.
You can't be selectively virtuous, start cutting corners, dibbling & dabbling here and there, pretty soon you're looking around and wondering "How'd I wind up here?"
As I said, just my opinion. But I believe if we don't start reemphasizing the importance of God in our daily lives then things will get much worse.
