I don't think that Video games, violent movies or a lack of Fathers are the primary reasons for societal decay. They are all contributing factors.

My generation (born in the late 50's and 60's) grew-up in an era where society was rapidly changing. We watched the beginning of the Civil Rights era and started thinking that the world needed to be changed from what our parents before it had created.

Unfortunately we collectively went overboard (keep in mind that I am generalizing here). We invented the PTA and let the schools take over the raising of our children. We invented the EPA (can you believe that Nixon did that?) and let big-government take over our lives in order to protect the us and the world. We took the Civil Rights Act way too far and suddenly made it wrong to speak up for your selves and made it right for every culture and religion and special-interest group to determine how we should behave. We allowed ourselves to be feel bad about trying to protect our borders when in reality we are the single most lax and liberal nation in the world when it comes to border control...even the left-wing, socialist governments of Europe have tighter immigration restrictions than we do.

In short, this is our own-doing. It isn't games, movies or family units.
