The battle for America's dominant morality continues.
I am not surrendering, despite all my moral failures and neither should you.

But, I do think that common sense is on life support and there appears to be serious lack of personal responsibility in our society!!

I think the world gets really messy when each person has a different moral code. People get into fights when they meet on the street, and one thinks the other shoulda-woulda-coulda done something different or better, judging from his own moral code.
Bill payers often make up a moral code that says, "If the guy I owe money to is mean to me or ever gets mad at me for missing payments, I no longer owe him a penny because he was rude." I often see these cases show up on Judge Judy.
I would even argue that there never has been, in the history of mankind, one, single over-arching absolute standard for morality over all human beings. We've had to make up the rules as we went along.

It's always changing, and always will. Some of what had relevance 100 years ago is no longer fitting, but things that were never thought of have sprung up, and need to be dealt with.
In addition to that, there is cultural, and religious influence that factors in...
So; is it dead? No. Is it different than it was 100, 50, 15, 5 years ago? Certainly. Will it be different next year? Yeah.
People have been murdered throughout history...the only difference is that today, we can get the news instantly (this is why it seems as though it's all around us), rather than days, weeks, or months later.
The differences and changes that I was mostly talking about are the smaller issues...the ones that usually have people in uproars as they change.
A pefect example is the bathing suit.
The Victorian idea of beach attire was as such:
Then, in the Edwardian era, women lost all "morals" and started wearing this:
Don't forget the "loose, roaring" 1920's; when indecent flapper women went to the beach wearing next to nothing:
Then it got even worse with the arrival of the dreaded bikini (even though it was over 1000 years old):
And it was (once again) the end of the world when the thong was introduced....and so on, and so on.
Sure, it isn't the best example, but you can apply this same progression to violence and sex in movies (look up the Hays Code, if you've never heard of it...they weren't allowed to say "Pregnant" in I Love Lucy...), to people's attitudes about sexual preference, and so on.
