Societal Decay

Societal decay occurs in my opinion when children lose the values and morals of their ancestors. Nobody remembers what decency is anymore and that is something that elders teach the youth. When the elders stop caring (for whatever excuse) then the youth that is to become the future deteriorate. There are too many people out there(mostly women) who view their children with disdain as if they were parasites and in return when those same people become elders they are treated with disdain from the very children they resented who are now adults. What would our forefathers say if they were here now?

When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.
