It's A Wonderful Life

OK I've seen the xmas classic at least a dozen times but last week it really hit me. What kind of man is George Bailey, really?

Here is a guy who flies into a rage at the drop of a hat, verbally abuses his wife and children, goes on a drunk bender, gets behind the wheel while loaded to the gills, crashes said car and abandons the scene of the accident, resist's arrest, and assaults a police officer.

This movie could never be made today. tongue.gif Too bad.

It was from a time when society realized people screwed up, but eventually got it right. When it was not necessary to have the cops show up for your neighbor's dog crapping in your yard. Before people thought there had to be a law about every last thing, and someone to ride our collective arses over every possible wrong that may befall us.

That show demonstrates that people are responsible for their own actions, be they good, or bad. That is a message today's people will not accept.
