And we come full circle, back to the effect of the family unit. Where is the stay-at-home mom who, in the past was there to maintain control over junior? Answer? She is out there working since it now takes two incomes for the family to keep up with the Joneses. So, junior gets all the the "things" he wants as gifts of guilt rather than personal involvement in his life. Mom and Dad, too tired from a day at the office find it easier to just let junior do whatever he wants, so few if any limits are placed on behavior.
You want God in the equation? That should be the parent's job as well. How many modern parents (bible belt excluded) show good example by regularly attending some organized religious institution?
Let's stop blaming the government, the schools and all the other strawmen and put the responsibility where it belongs.
