> The male society has already been neutered to a larger extent, thanks in large part to the radical feminist movement that preceeded the sexual revolution of the 1960's. Turn a TV on these days, and it's not hard to see that guys either sound effeminate or act effeminate.

I haven't had a TV in the house since 1975, but I know what you mean. It drives me crazy that there aren't many decent male role models in the media.

> It'll take a movement much like a nationwide church revival to knock the moral compass back in the right direction.

While I agree that most religions provide good moral guidance, I don't think I want that done on a nationwide basis, because that would unavoidably get entangled with the government, and I don't want the government having anything to do with religion (mine or anyone else's).

Instead, I would like to see the various disparate parts of the country develop more responsible attitudes based on the folks in those areas (yeah, I'm a believer in states' rights and old-style federalism). Certainly religion has a strong place there, but it shouldn't be a national religion.

Yeah, I agree. But I will add that this country needs to get back to the roots of the Founding Father's. America has strayed too far off course for far too long as far as morals and values go.

I consider myself a devout Christian, but I do realize there is going to be a natural give-and-take.
