I know the lack of self-respect is in the schools. Every community has a certain number of incorrigibles; given these stories however, the contagion has infected the general populace more deeply than heretofore thought.

The following collection exhibits the price of an amoral society, one where personal gratification precedes all else. The liberal upbringing so in vogue, i.e. lack of personal responsibility, the cult of victimhood, and protection of individuals from any repercussions for actions undertaken has this ana as a corollary.

If anything, this is an invidious form of fascism, worse than prior known examples, since it is sub rosa.

Risky sex returns syphilis to Europe

LONDON - Syphilis is back: The sexually transmitted disease long associated with 19th Century bohemian life is making an alarming resurgence in Europe. [snip]

Nick Mulling Post-Spears Pregnancy Show

NEW YORK (AP) - Nickelodeon is considering a special for its young audience about sex and love following the news that 16-year-old “Zoey 101″ star Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant.

The television network has made no announcement about the future of “Zoey 101,” its popular program aimed primarily at youngsters aged 9-14. Filming for the show’s fourth and final season has finished, and episodes are scheduled to begin airing in February. [snip]

One television critic, David Hinckley of the New York Daily News, wrote Thursday that to end “this sordid moment” with a lesson, Nickelodeon should pull the plug on “Zoey 101.” [snip]

The detritus of this social and parental mentoring is the abasement of civilization. This contaminant moves through the world community with the celerity of smallpox, precipitating society’s collapse.

A vaccine is available, but intensely hated by the left.
