Message-ID: <392@teldata.UUCP> Date: Fri, 15-Jun-84 12:40:14 EDT Article-I.D.: teldata.392 Posted: Fri Jun 15 12:40:14 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 22-Jun-84 00:37:06 EDT Organization: Teltone Corp., Kirkland, WA Lines: 38 , (sop to the blank line eaters--consider it a religious sacrifice) Well, this is it. These are all of the opinions which were expressed in the morality poll. The poll question was whether there has been a decline in morals in the US lately. It is nice to know that none of the rest of you have opinions, I can disregard anything you say on the subject. Due to the dearth of response I have included all results. ANSWERS/RESPONSES --------------------------------------------------------------------- I definitely want to put in my vote for a weakening of both morals and a not often talked about thing anymore: conscience. No, there hasn't been an downgrading of morals. Yes, there has been a general slide downwards of society in general. I think that there has been an erosion of morals in this country in recent years. No, I don't think there has been an erosion of morals. Increased crime points that way, but increases in various types of freedom and equality point the other way; it cancels. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I find the last statement interesting, in view of the continuing discussions in net.legal on taxes and licensing. I do not see the increases in freedoms. From the Soapbox of Tom Condon {...!uw-beaver!teltone!teldata!tac} "Morals are great, every chile should have one." Daisy Mae Yokum
