    The culture of todays generation is immoral because of the total disrespect of other human beings. We the last generation did not give them a proper education ,We did not give them the gospel as we should have ,The golden rule Do until others , as you would want others to do until you. The ten commandments remember dont steal, dont kill, dont commit adultry, honor your mother and father, and more. If the generation of today had this written in their being,their soul, their mind, we would not have what we have going on in the city of new bedford mass. It is like the generations of the past in human history of all other nations if not fixed soon our nation will be lost. In saying this give them the gospel today.
