"Infantilizing the Culture"
I admit to wondering where this is all going, as I suspect our parents thought, too.
Personally, I believe society, in general (not all), is being dumbed down.

David Solway recently wrote about it at PajamasMedia.com, closing with:
"It may well be too late to turn things around but the fact nevertheless remains.

None of these things are even remotely helpful. What we need are real mothers, real fathers, and real teachers."
