The almost complete Parental failure, in this country has led to this almost complete social breakdown...

You write as if you almost regard "complete social breakdown" as being a bad thing.

Yeah, yeah, this country's going to hell in a handbasket. It's that rock & roll music, ya know... If only we'd get back to Jesus... blah blah ...

In the post-collapse milieu a whiner like you will simply be shot. :)

It all began when the kid started using words like "swell" and "so's your old man." THAT'S why we got trouble....

Children ARE, a reflection of their Parents. The old adage of "no bad kids, just bad parents" is very true. They learn from a VERY early age, how to behave from those around them....we all pay the price for a Parental failure to teach a child to live in the world as a decent human being, and let the TV/internet/street do it for them, or rely on others, because the fact is, most humans who have children, do not have the ability to raise them. An ability is not a right, even when it comes to breeding humans.
