I saw the subject and decided to venture out to the local pioneer cemetery on a drizzly Saturday afternoon.

First one: Stubenrauchstrasse Cemetry, Berlin-Friedenau (where Marlene Dietrich and Helmut Newton were buried - and Ottomar Anschütz, one of the contributors to the invention of the leaf shutter). Second one: closed-down Jewish Cemetery, Hannover (Nobody allowed to enter, authorities obviously still being afraid of Nazi hooligans, sad thing to admit).

What a shame. Here in NC, they recently caught three kids who defaced a bunch of headstones in a cemetary. A local stone quarry repaired the headstones for free that same week, without comments - they just showed up and did it. And the boys? They face felony charges - the PA says he won't reconsider - they're over 18 and going to go to prison - it is a felony here.

as it should be...that stone is 160 years old...
We all did stupid stuff as kids, and I'd like to think that kids are always the same, but it's just not true. There's a meanness and disrespect the kids have nowadays...just listen to the music they listen to now. Obscene and vulgar lyrics about ho's, drugs, money and gangs. Add reality TV to the scenario and sadly, one can't help but feel society is sliding backwards...

I've been saying it for awhile. I'll just post the link, the actual words would shock and dismay my friends here:

Pretty poignant and powerful stuff, Bill. A tough read for me since we in Canada lost 4 in a roadside bomb in Afghanistan today, something we're not used to....in an awful coincidence I understand the US lost 4 in a roadside IED in Iraq today as well.
You're dead right about the 60/70's generation and the music back then.....it was political, emotional, idealistic, naive, but much of it was very intelligent. Contrast that with the filth and simplistic jibberish you hear today (and I'm no prude), and you get a general idea of what's going wrong....
Someone on this forum has a quote something like "We have seen the enemy, and he is us".....not far from the truth. But what can parents do against this media onslaught that glorifies and encourages this disgusting behaviour?
