Why Aren’t We Shocked? - New York Times
Bob Herbert is right. This terrible situation that degrades women is the result of a long, deteriorating sense of morality in the U.S. and elsewhere. Secular humanism, an 'anything goes, if it feels good, do it' culture, an evaporating sense of right and wrong, and constant barrages against religion in the public square have led to this awful state of affairs.
Sure, one can argue that the individuals who did these awful things in Amish country and Colorado were deranged, but that in no way excuses the moral swamp that so many in America choose to live in. This is all exacerbated by the greed and money-making opportunities offered by glorifying sex and degradation. Man (generic) is inherently evil and it's only the rule of law that restrains those who have no internal moral or spiritual standards to believe in and guide their actions and decisions.
As only one flagrant example, help me understand how rap/hip hop music and videos enrich the culture of America? Yet we spend $billions on that junk.
UGH!
