We trivialized the existing value system and launched the me generation. We refused to accept any delay in gratification of our desires. When the call came to fight in an unpopular war, we refused to go. In accomplishing all these goals, we learned to lie and take the easy way out. Mostly the changed morality stretches across the political spectrum.
Conservatives are more circumspect while liberals are more open.
Those changes have taken a toll on other generations as well. Our country has experienced a general lowering of traditional morality in every class and every age group. The impeachment of the president is an attempt by conservatives to refute the truth about our changed values. They will fail because the country, as a whole, has endorsed the changed morality and wishes to discuss it no more. Over the history of our country we have experienced a number of shifts in public attitude.
