I think in the early to mid '70s is when it started to change. In the '80s the mess was done and now we have a bunch of adults who cannot cope with the hard world where competition is what gets you ahead in the world and whose mommies have castrated them.
Here is an example of what I'm speaking of. Ten kids get sick in a population of four million and its a news story. Rediculous, and would only happen in a castrated society.
