Lol. Get off my lawn!
Anyway, what you just said has been said by every crotchety old person since the birth of mankind.
Not so sure......... Family Did mean something into the 60's for the majority. Being neighborly was a normal thing also. Now you only see neighborhood Cookouts in Rare instances or in Movies.
Childhood sports teams have been commonly replaced by Gangs.
.........Oh, and I got Crotchety at the Ripe age of 12 when My Mother was forced to take a Job to help make ends meet while my Father was at Sea for 6 months at a time(Navel Serviceman serving his Country) and I was left to set an example for my 3 younger brothers.
Funny thing........... She never gave up on being the kind of Mother we had come to love and trust, continuing to do all she could to better us at every opportunity.
My Dad, who Lost his father at a very young age, was caring but not a lot of help. He had little clue how to be a Father<His words later in life> but he always supported the family and Served with Pride.
Maybe Man does make his own choices...................If Government does not interfere. In this country, Government does nothing but interfere.

Concerns are often exaggerated.
Laws made to protect are often overly restrictive and do harm.(Letter vs. purpose assertions)
Good people make poor choices
through fear of persecution for doing what they believe to be right.
It is what it is.......................Live the life you choose. I know I will.
