Do you guys think that this is just part of a natural cycle that we as Americans go through? It seems that throughout our history we waffle between extreme prudishness/conservatism and sexual openness/liberalism. Consider the 1890s and the "Gilded Age" only to be followed by the political, social, and economic reforms of the early 1900s (1906 Pure Food and Drug Act, anti-monopoly laws). Then we had the roaring 20s followed by the Great Depression. Then WWII was followed by the McCarthyist, "Father Knows Best" 50s. And so on. I'm sure that in a few years time we'll swing back to "indecency" and all these recent events will be laughable.
Discuss amongst yourselves...
