The pendulum is swinging, and we usually only view a narrow slice of the arc at a time, as we ourselves experience it.

Also, "family values" is a term that has become co-opted by the much-hated rigid religious right. That's part of the pendulum swing, too-- their rigidity and the reactive rebellion against them.


The answer (IMO) is to conduct your own life with as much intentionality as possible. The rest (such as worrying, judging others, unthinking rebellion aginst other parts of the pendulum swing) is pissing in the wind.
