Steve, 

I agree that the world would be a better place if 
people were raised to be decent to one another.  I
fault parents for the general lack of social training,
in whatever form their culture supports.

In this country, I also see a variety of contributing 
factors:

* the relative ease of procreation - perhaps Norplant at 
  puberty isn't a bad idea

* the attempts by some to restrict access to birth control
  and other methods of limiting population growth among
  those who neither want nor can afford children

* the ease with which unplanned children are supported by 
  state subsidy with no consequences for the parents

* a school system that is ill-formed for its role as 
  default parent in loco

* the foolish and fraudulent behavior of evangelical 
  preachers and the pederasty of priests, devaluing
  these sources of social education

* and the list goes on...
