In the 1960s our society altered the concepts of sexual morality. The 1970s made living together while unmarried an acceptable lifestyle. The 1980s altered the basic concepts of integrity and character. Many people who grew up with these altered concepts accept them as verified truths.

Personal choices should not produce consequences. If the individual is valued, there can be no judgmental responses. Catastrophic consequences are the result of getting caught. If a person is not caught, no problem exists.
