I think you may have hit on something there. We don't spend a much time thinking about what real freedom is since we have always had it here.

The U.S. is a horrible mess when it comes to morality. Look at us. The country went into a tizzy about Janice Jackson's tit on tv. Her nipple was covered, but the crazy-ass Christian right went nuts. People seem to think that children seeing nudity or sexuality is going to make them into rapists and murderers. Wahnsinn.

This will always be a country where offending someone is a punishable crime. It just gets worse as time passes.

This is an excellent post. There is hardly anything left to say!

This post is awesome. The sad part is, it's like preaching to the choir in here. There are too many people out there, parents, out there, who just don't understand what's going on in the world, and with their own children.

I don't know if it's because of the way they were raised, or if there was some crazy phenomenon that made this generation of parents let their kids run loose and then blame others for what the kids get into. . .Maybe that's why we see so many young kids with cell phones now, parents thinking they can know where their kids are and what they're doing with a phone call. . .

I'm young myself, and I don't have any children. However, I do have younger brothers (the oldest of which is 10 years younger than me), and I can see that even *my* mother has changed the way she parents her children. Keeping them sheltered will only shock them in the future, or push them to try and do exactly that which you are trying to keep them from doing. . .

Just adding my 10cents. . .
