TIA,
Our Democracy has brought us to the state of Hedonism.
Americans are spoiling their children. We try to give them everything they want. This in turn leads them in the pursuit of pleasure, sensual self-indulgence and a lack of self-restraint.
With our computer age, the children are able to order drugs and get them mailed to them; by the time the parents become aware, it’s too late. This and a lack of discipline prevent them from handling the pressures of life. They cannot hold down a job and the next thing you know they are on welfare, food stamps and the like, or, in some cases, committing suicide.
All this was made in the name of freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Sad commentary, indeed.
