In my personal view, the moral corruption in America is accelerating. In the last 2 or 3 years the lack of moral conscience related to sexuality among many of the young, and the increasing number of people who have no conscience when it comes to murder and other acts for selfish reasons, has dramatically increased. I can hardly watch any TV shows any more; I feel completely alienated for what passes for music and entertainment in my culture these days. I think it has not anywhere near reached bottom. It is not only in these areas as reflected on TV, but Michael Josephson who heads up an ethics foundation has also stated that people admit in anonymous surveys to a decrease in personal honesty. There are ways in which America maintains integrity, but I think that the immorality and the secularism are going to reach a critical mass and that this society is going to create a lot of moral monsters. Only then will it begin to awaken to the damage it has done by excising God, religion, and spirituality out of public life, and by elevating tolerance as the only virtue, and to excess. Brent
