Frank, you are missing my point. I am not saying it is inevitable, I am saying that we have let culture progress to this point and now we are all shocked by it. It is ironic. We used to laugh when our "elders" complained about the length of the Beatle's hair or the short miniskirts or those kids running around naked or the suggestive lyrics of the Rolling Stones. When we were the youth, we "seemed" to know what was right and wrong. Now that we've become the parents, we are now becoming shocked at what culture is throwing at us. I do agree that what may be obvious to an adult is not so clear to a 12 year old, but I do think they can understand more than we give them credit for.

What can we do? As you say we can teach our children.   We should also try to understand where this culture has evolved from if we expect to have any credence.
