For a number of years anger and frustration have been increasing and the sighs have been louder and more frequent. The heavy straw has finally broken the camel's back and I can contain myself no longer. Where are we going?
What happened to common sense, values and honour? Don't get me wrong, I am not merely a cantankerous old git. I still get immense pleasure from life, but life is changing around me and I have to adjust to ensure I can retain that which is important to me. Rising crime, rising taxes, parents abrogating their responsibility, poor service in shops, restaurants, etc. The list gets longer.
I have tried to vent by sending comments and opinions to various websites and discussion groups but the moderators and I don't seem to get on. Perhaps this blog will provide me with what I need. I need some release. So, let's give it a whirl and see what happens.

I think we might have something in common as you might conclude from some of my own blogs. But what I worry about is whether people of a certain age haven't always said things like this. I'm sure my own parents did about my (our?) generation. How do we know whether we are identifying genuinely new, and unwelcome, social phenomena or simply conforming to type?
Hi Baralbion
It may be that we have had a bit more life experience and have become more informed observers. However, I don't think there is much doubt that values and standards are on the downward slope.
