In today's world, "them" flakes far outnumber "us".
I've got a theory...digressing from motorbikes...where societal values of the USA changed. I think it was WWII. When there was a sudden and drastic loss of home-life stability. A suddenly-forced generation of those raised by "single" working mothers....the first time men en masse were away from their family for extended periods, forcing wives to work to sustain the family. The first mass breaking up of homes. Once a generation isn't directly exposed to something (previously taught by example from Pa), the next one has no clue of it. Responsibility and accountability were never learned once kids started to learn how to live/behave from others kids...AKA daycare. Then those kids who learned from those kids has grown what we have today...irresponsibility and self-centeredness, vs. family-centeredness.
