If more of us followed the Amish and Mennonite traditions of "taking care of their own", we wouldn't have the need for so many nursing/old-age homes. We've become a "drop off" society because we're too busy taking care of business. Mothers drop off their newborns at daycare centers, and we abdicate our responsibilities to our parents when they become aged or infirm by dropping them into adult daycare or 24-hour facilities.

When mothers were able to stay at home, we didn't have the wide-scale anti-social problems then. Parents took the responsibility for guiding and disciplining their own children, schools held a higher standard, and families took an active roll in lending a hand helping out with their aged parents.

All that has gone by the wayside and we have ourselves to blame. Political correctness has gone too far and we can't even correct or discipline our own children due to radical and loudly protesting liberals who deem every attempt at discipline as child abuse.

Now, we're stuck with an entire generation of kids who were granted free reign, never taught respect and love for one another, completely void of parental guidance or positive example at home, and feel society is responsible for their behavior issues for which they should be ever-compensated, and blame their upbringing...or lack of same as the reasons for their dysfunction.
