I agree. Even the so-called "family shows" or "kids shows" are horrible examples for kids. Not only when it comes to marriage and sexual relationships, but common courtesy and manners in general. It's normal to see the children on these shows being disrespectful to their parents, teachers, etc. And this is supposed to be funny!? I've also noticed that there is a lot of yelling on kid's shows today. They yell when they are mad, happy, excited, doesn't matter. Not sure why that is, but it sure is annoying.

"Every day things get worse and worse. People need to stand up for themselves. The time has long since come for people to get engaged in the affairs of their government."

I completely agree. People need to stop whining and wringing their hands and actually DO something. We need to be actively engaged in fighting for the values that we hold dear, most importantly our liberty.

ummm...I know I'm being nit-picky, but the Art of War was written by Sun Tzu, not Lao-Tzu. Lao-Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching. Similar names, huge difference in philosophies.
