Rockape, I agree entirely with what you said.
My solution, for what it is worth is to continue to teach our children and grandchildren the codes of morals, ethics, respect for others and discipline that we were taught as kids in a much more simplistic(and in my opinion, better) world. I have just had my grandaughter (12 yr old) from
Brisbane staying with us in far north SA for two weeks. I was truly amazed, astounded and flabbergasted at how little, as a city girl she knew about the bush. For instance, we don't lock the house, we leave our keys in the car when we
shop,wave to each other on the road, and say g'day to each other when we pass in the street. Know all our neighbours in the whole street and other streets as well etc etc. I am sure you get the message. We were taught respect for others, morals and ethics, compassion, love thy neighbour and all the rest and if you
broke these codes, God help you.
You just have to convince the so called 'do-gooders' in this world that it would be a lot better if we went back to the old days.
But then again. as a '
young' grandpa I grew up in the 'good old days'
Cheers
