10-2-20: Dennis Prager had his fireside chat today and noted that the debate was not elevated and sophisticated but was degraded, just another American institution degraded, another sign of our cultural and moral decline.
He noted that public cursing, public nudity, public confessons of private problems (the Jerry Springer syndrome), political, unfunny late night TV. the weaponizing of NFL games, etc.
Our private lives were where we were more open but in the public life we were to be more polite, self-controlled and decorous. He is correct, but socialist, postmodernist deconstructing of our modern, Judeo-Christian American political system and way of life for 50 years has done its damage.
Things are now worse than before, and will get worse almost assuredly. Public virtue even if not so noble in private may seem hypocritical, but public standards must be maintained.
