It was a simple proposition that I generated from a variety of thoughts.

Part of it came from the repeated Rutgers "scandals".  Part of it came from conversations I've had with my sister who is both a teacher and a mother of a special needs child.  Part of it was conceived throughout Memorial Day weekend as I watched episodes of MASH, a special on D-Day and the first half hour or so of Saving Private Ryan.  Part of it came from my long time argument about the selling of sex and violence to our children. 

"Do you notice how as a society, so many people go overboard defending their kids from their teachers and coaches, yet we feel young and hip as we equally defend the sex, debauchery and gratuitous violence the kids are inundated with every day."

We don't have winners or losers anymore, but we do have rampant rates of suicide, PTSD, drug abuse, bullying, cutting, obsessive compulsive, eating disorders, bipolar disorders, etc.  People talk about some people who are resistant to change.  Is there ever a point where we recognize that things have changed but its not good.
