Does today's society idolize the wrong individuals?

In todays society people are going with what they relate to. In the music industry the kids go for the loud music and the odd clothing because its THEM. It says I am my own person. It is a form of rebellion because its the freedom to express themselves anyway they CHOOSE.

The music has messages in the lyrics and they are sad,glad,moody,blue, depressed, obsessed, suicidal, alone, week, tired, heartbreaking, mindtaking and the kids hear it in the songs. To answer your question, If Clinton can go aound a disrespect his wife in the eyes of the whole world with some lady who used powerful men as stepping stones for her own ends(Look where she is now and how much she has now} and think of what MRS> CLINTON must be feeling and still she is sparing HIS reputation by not achknowleging his discusting behavior in public like he did. The church is going to H in a handbasket. The prechers, priests, etc are all showing that they are sick humans praying on innocense so where are the Children supposed to look. Not at home, not at the Government, Not in the church, the police being authority figures alienate the kids so yes, I feel the kids are getting a real good taste of what society is offering them in moral living. The kids are being KIDS and no one can direct the kids in the right path so they idolize whoever they feel expresses themselves anyway they want that doesn't hurt anyone and so what if they look funny to you, they are still todays children expressing themselves, lay off and maybe the kids wouldn't be going so radical. When they say their family is on the streets, maybe to them they are cause no one wants to sit and TALK to our children anymore, No one has the time, DO THEY??????

I hope I have in some small way answered your question.
