Duty, Decency, Dignity, Decorum, Consideration, Good Form, Propriety, Respect, Modesty etc.

Well - where have all of these words in the title disappeared to in Our Especially Brave New World?

Can we truly believe that our current Western Society has many remaining values of worth if these - and other words like them - have been almost wholly excised from our daily vocabulary? 
(Respect now means something different on the back streets.)

Virtue today may only be witnessed in those who parrot cliches about assorted -isms which must be opposed. Many of these claims, naturally, do have a certain merit, but equally, with others this is frequently not the case. 

This is oft times compounded by pointing out other, new bĂȘte noires which exist only in the realms of purest fantasy.

Now there's another point. When was reality first supplanted by vacuous rhetoric in our nation?

Gotta Admit That The Flock Do Not Look All That Rampant To Me! - (Just a tad sheepish because of all the embarrassment.)

Town calls in shepherd to tackle rampant sheep . Flocks freed by quad bikers tearing down fences cause havoc on roads and in gardens.
