Ahhh,... Decadence. It was certainly mooted to have played a part in the fall of the Roman Empire, and in my opinion it is coming into effect in many first world countries of today.
The snivel libertarians of course will pooh pooh this suggestion, but one only has to look about them to see the way that our lives are heading under the effects of such things as Political Correctness.
Parents can't punish their own children.
Judges are more frightened of encroaching on the rights of the guilty than those against whom crimes have been committed.
People want to fight for such things as the right to have hardcore porn available to children on the internet.
The first consideration of anyone is "cover your a*se", rather than a just outcome in any situation.
No one wants to be responsible for their own behaviour.
It goes on and on and on. We are certainly on the slippery slope.
