re: When did our culture quit producing men that would “do what’s right”?

I agree 100% with the OP. I have noticed this over my lifetime.

I noticed when Hollywood started making movies that glorified the bad guy/crook.

I noticed when people started openly talking about cheating on tax returns etc. Sure it has always gone on, but it was not something you would blurt out and expect people to agree with you.

I noticed when people started taking up for the crappy kids instead of whipping their arse for being bad at school.

I remember watching a cartoon as a kid where the babysitter was given a book on raising kids with all the new way of handling it. When the mom got home and was faced with the childs bad manners. She took the book and said your aren't using it right and proceeded to use the book too whip the brat bent over her knee.

Todays you go to jail for such things and you better believe nothing like that is in cartoons today.

I remember when both Republicans and Democrats (voters) both wanted what was best for America.

I remember in a time before lawsuits when land owners didn't care if you fished or hunted on their land if they weren't wanting it for themselves. Now even if they don't mind they won't let you for fear of lawsuits.

Those days are long gone.
