The View

Submitted by Julia Smith on Wed, 05/02/2007 - 12:34pm.

So today I was sitting in the health center and the View was on television. Barbara Walters was talking about a Vanity Fair interveiw with Bruce Willis, and Bruce thought that morality was devolving in the United States. (I know, what are the odds, right?) His reasoning was that when people start flashing their private parts at cameras (Britney Spears, etc.) that our country is actual losing its morality. 

I thought that was an interesting way of looking at it. Could it not be a loss of morality but an evolution of a different kind of morality? Is it possible for morality to "devolve"? What do we think?
