Quote for the Day:

By the end of the 1980s, there was widespread consensus that the past two decades had seen an erosion of civic commitment and social responsibility in America. It had been an "age of excess," people agreed, a time of acquisitiveness, self-gratification, and individual irresponsibility. Selfishness had run rampant – Wall Street financiers had defrauded small investors, high-flying developers had plundered the Department of Housing and Urban Development, middle-class parents had been too busy with careers to help their children with their homework, and urban teens had committed murder to get a pair of jogging shoes.
