Why is sex the only thing that strikes you as immoral? In the America of
older times, whole families of children were taken in by neighbors if their
parents died. Widows received food, fuel and other help from neighbors if it
was needed. The old were kept in the homes and maintained; so were the
mentally and physically afflicted. Hungry people were given food. Sick
people were helped and treated by neighbors and doctors who could only hope
for remuneration. Neighbors helped each other with the plowing, the planting
and the harvesting. If a woman died in childbirth and the baby lived, a
neighbor woman might volunteer to nurse the child along with her own. In
other words, people cared for and helped people. That is the goodness that
DeTocqueville was talking about. It was unlikely that he spent his time
dwelling on the possibility that women were having abortions or that there
was homosexuality loose in the land. In this day, when neighbors are only
concerned about controlling the actions of their neighbors and trying to
amass the most "stuff," there is every possibility that DeTocqueville would
believe that "goodness" has been lost.
