Huh?

Bankruptcy laws allow people a way out from their moral obligation to pay their debts. Far too many people take advantage of those laws. I've read of individuals who file bankruptcy 3 or 4 times.

Reality tv, rap music, and Paris Hilton are part of popular culture. Each of the three have elements that also contribute to moral decay and if you pretend to not understand that then perhaps you have already been affected--I don't know. These things do not affect me as I had my head screwed on straight (at least in my mind) and tight before these three things came into mass appeal. But I am very happy to not have to raise a child with these cultural influences.

At 44, am I just getting old? Maybe, but that's my opinion. Just as you think Bill Maher contributes to the problem, I think there are many more things that are worse contributors.
