What is Acceptable

Acceptable in society is anything that doesn't shock us. You don't believe me? It used to be that long hair on guys was not acceptable, sagging pants, tattoos, short skirts, guys wearing skirts, gays & lesbians (gay used to be a good & fun word & meant happy). Allowing one person to tell a majority of people what they can or can't do was not acceptable, burning the flag, talking bad about our country, sex on tv, swear words on tv, kids that back talked adults, people that sued for frivolous things & the list piles up fast of what wasn't acceptable even 40 years ago. Can we change what has happened? no, because once the water is under the bridge, it isn't coming back. Or is it, Hmmm? They invented pumps to put water back & it takes work but can be done.
My solution is to have people stand up, united in one cause & force those in power to make the right choices & be held accountable for their action. If decision makers are held accountable for their actions, they won't keep making the same mistakes. We also need to elect people into office based on doing the right thing & not being popular or charismatic.
I know it seems hopeless & perhaps in todays society with all the rights being given to people who are selfish or power motivated, we can't change much but if we don't try, we are the ones who are wrong. We can't sit by & watch what we believe in or what we feel is right get taken away because if we don't fight for what is right, who will? Those that are un acceptable will always get what they want if we don't stop them & next year there will be something else shoved down our throats that was once un acceptable but now is acceptable. We can make a difference but we can't do it if our mouth is closed.
