text: why is society losing it's ethics? why are manners a thing of a past? no one has any courtesy anymore. especially while driving. and it seems like some parents have really gotten away from parenting. they just let the kids run the house. whats going on?!? how can we get it back? we can't, but individuals can. our society right now is incredibly casual compared to other times in history. we no longer dress up to go out except to meat market clubs, restraunts don't enforce dress codes or manners. people are too afraid to discipline their own children, let alone chide ones that are acting up in public.  if you want to make a difference, lead by example.  edit: okay lamont, seriously, how can you correlate that your name has to do with a radio super-hero whose powers are all about mysticism and follow it up with this ridiculous "a return to god is a return to good manners". christianity doesn't teach manners except in the "turn the other cheek love thy neighbor way" that most christians don't seem to know about.
