what happened?

Does anyone else remember when being "tough" meant you could "take it"?

When did being "tough" begin to mean you could "dish it out".

Why do so many supposed "tough" folks, the ones who speak of being "rugged individualists" whine so loud when folks use the same tactics they employ against them?

I was taught that meant you were a BULLY.

When did our culture begin to celebrate BULLIES?

Why?

Is it because so many are RICH? Is it because they highlight our basest emotions? Is it because they act the way so many folks WISH they could - especially after a lifetime of being abused in rotten jobs?

We seem to be well on our way to becoming a truly EVIL society -- led by our supposed "CHRISTIANS".

I'm so ashamed of what we have become, and are becoming. What happened?
