On the Demise of Ethics

How is it that professionals pride themselves on the impersonal and yet politics is all about the personal?

How is it that moral value is constantly touted and yet love making is constantly demonized?

Why has civil discourse become so vulgar and uncivil behavior so expected?

These are the kinds of questions I find myself asking aloud to no one in the quiet hours before dawn.

If this were a hundred or a thousand years ago, I'd be asking the same questions.

Yet it could take only until tomorrow for someone with enough dignity and grace and inspiration and power to locate this private media campaign and help me piece these questions apart to provide positive answers on a commercial scale.
