You're right that caption does Plum. When's the last time you heard of anyone getting a ticket for littering. Don't get me started about our _______ handing out money an making people lazier than they already are. Heck look at what's going on right now 😳 people have no respect for them selfs let alone our planet. Sorry ya got me going there 🤪
So true. Seems those getting rocking chair money they haven’t earned are the most disrespectful bunch. I have a mother-in-law like that. She hasn’t worked in 40 years because of a fake disability she gets and she’s the meanest person I know to EVERYBODY. Her own kids (my wife and her brother) won’t even go around her any more. Those people have a very limited friendship circle.

Most of us here on the stage recall and respect what we were taught from our mom and dads and of our own experiences as well.
But have noticed a good bit of disrespect to what has been handed down to us when taking a walk or just as important being on the water.
Doesn’t seem like teaching by example is doing much these days.
Got any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure I don't have an answer for people who disrespect others or our environment. Most behavior, we as human beings exhibit, Is learned. Very little behavior is just randomly done without people being aware of what they are doing or why. Mentally ill people may be the exception.
Throughout documented history, every society has thought the period of time they were living in, was the worst time in the history of the planet. Many people feel that way today. The feeling isn't a new one. Most people think their youth(years ago), was much better than now. The very things they point to in the demise of the planet, people were complaining about hundreds of years ago. We've always had people who are givers and takers, respectful and disrespectful.

A lot of the pollution we see now days in the big cities, in the area I live, like Seattle, and Portland is not caused by greed or quest for money but just plain disrespect for self, others, and society at large and the misguided belief that the loving and good thing to do is let people live in squalor, ruin their lives with the pollution of addiction, and let mental illness go untreated the result is our parks, our streets, our open spaces are all being polluted to the point that it looks like a dump. Actually now that I think about it with the 100's of millions of dollars that are being spent to address the "homeless" problem, that ends up makeing the problem worse and not better maybe it is caused by greed and love of money not by the homeless but the political machinery that are using it to in rich themselves both politically and monitarily instead doing what needs done to address the problem and address the addiction and mental illness problem that is causeing the problem.

Does anyone remember the commercial with the Indian looking over trash dumped w a tear rolling down his face

Yup ! He was a real Native American, not just an actor - his name was
Chief 'Iron Eyes' Cody, so that tear really struck a chord for many
people ! If the situation was dire enough to bring a tear to HIS eye,
then this planet was in REAL trouble !

Thank you, PaPa -D ! I stand
corrected ! Upon digging further
into this matter, there seem to be conflicting reports as to Chief 'Iron
Eyes' Cody's true lineage !
Some say he was born in Oklahoma and was part Cherokee (dad's side) and part Cree (mom's side), but the truth, apparently, is that he was an American actor of Italian (Sicilian)
descent who portrayed Native Americans in Hollywood films, and
was either passing himself off as a real Native American, or began believing he actually was after
playing them for so long !
Incidentally, the moniker 'Iron Eyes'
was from the character he played
in the Bob Hope comedy-western,
'Paleface' !

It all boils down to foolish pride. I deserve whatever I want, whenever I want it, simply because I'm alive, and I dn't have to follow the rules. It's cool to be rebellious, not cool to be respectful. I don't have to learn from my parents. They don't understand. Things are different today.
This is now the world we live in. it's very sad to me. I worry what is coming, for the sake of my grandkids.
