>>> in our superpluralistic enlightened society, morality is an artifact of the >>> dark ages...
I have a distinct impression that above statement has been made by folks at every stage of time since the beginning of time There are forces that create the push pull.. I most certainly cannot and do not condone all behavior...... While I was not around in the USA during the 70's ... I have to ask how much different is today's behavior vs the the 'hippie' era of Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll.... I think when one looks back to that time one might realize that today we are having the same reaction that our parents were having during that era ?
