What are we deteriorating to??

CNN can be a horrid, left wing site. Lately it has been Barry Obama's home page. OCCASIONALLY they get an article correct. I'm not sure if the leftist gatekeeper takes a lunch break or a day off to sharpen its claws and fly its Soviet hammer and sickle, but occasionally they post an article that shows just how much some of the population is de-evolving.

Tonight is one of those nights.

Due to my respect for copyright and fair use, I link you to the following:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/07/18/facebook.evidence.ap/index.html

This is an article called 'Unrepentent on Facebook? Expect Jail Time.' It shows the judgment of various early 20's individuals that saw fit to get in horrible drunk driving wrecks (all causing serious injury), and in the time just before their sentencing in criminal court, they had gone out and partied and flaunted their 'achievement' in injuring another human being and posting said celebration on Facebook or MySpace.' Mom and Dad must be very proud.

Do these people have parents? Do they have ANY sort of remorse or conscience? If I run into a rabbit or squirrel on the road while driving I feel bad. These people got blitzed and injured PEOPLE. Some within an inch of their lives. And apparent in the spirit of 'gotta get back on that horse if you fall off,' went partying yet again while their victims were most likely in a hospital bed. Yee-hah?

I guess my question is, what went wrong? Near as I can tell these are the spawn of the Boomer/ME generation far lefty hippies that never instilled any discipline in their kids because their parents were hard-asses and didn't spare the rod. Actions speak louder than words, and their actions appear to dictate:

non-remorse,
no fault of my own,
everything is just cool man,
it's all about me.

Am I bashing hippies as the spawn of this? You betcha. Here's a major newsflash:

'THE HIPPIE MOVEMENT WAS A COMPLETE LIE.'

It wasn't about being a hippie, it was about being a BUM. I know this sounds like a 60 year old, but I point out what these hippies were actually doing: dropping out of productive society. 'Counterculturists' will come back and say 'oh yeah, but they were living on communes and living off the land.' OH REALLY? I will refer to the words of a hippie in my defense....the actor Peter Coyote. Check out the 'Hippy' documentary on the history channel, and you will find how those that 'dropped out' to hit the commune would 'pool their welfare checks together.' What was that? WELFARE CHECKS? That's living off the land??? That's called being a burden on society. Also, when their benefits ran out and marijuana gave way to LSD, Ludes and Heroine and the Haight-Ashbury degraded into a row of dope dwellings, AGAIN, we hear 'not our fault...it was the heavy drugs that really put everything in a bad place.' Watch the documentary if you get the chance....and DON'T watch it from the 'oh, cool music and pretty colors' standpoint....watch it from productive American citizen standpoint....it will make you sick.

Take all of the aforementioned paragraph into consideration, then add that these people had kids, and some have GRANDKIDS. Each generation builds on the shoulders of the last....now just THINK of who you are out there with on the highways. Now, are you thinking about the safety features on your car and how high your insurance coverage is? Good!

Protect yourself....as evidenced by the latest polls at least 48% of the country is populated by uneducated, immature sheep that lack conscience and have "NEVER done anything wrong" that are following a snake-oil salesman with a smooth-operating delivery. Anyone remember what this country was founded on? YOU take responsibility for your actions. YOU don't start pointing figures when things go bad (or try to add your name to something if things go well.) YOU manage your own money and NOT look for government handouts. This country was founded on the rights of the individual to go as far as their drive and talents would take them, and lacking morals, values, ethics and above all A CONSCIENCE was NOT part of the deal.
