I agree with a lot of what you are saying. We are facing new challenges.

Better times in the 50’s and sixties. Neighborhoods and society was far more safe

Not entirely true. Domestic violence is FAR lower now than the 50s or 60s.

I can promise you that growing up in that time was a lot safer than it is today.

Why would people be losing their souls becoming better people?
