You said some of the things that need to be said, but I bet you have more to say. I agree that a large part of all our social problems is from "spare the rod and spoil the child" mixed with a society that improves for each generation. Add in a lack of death on a large scale - cures for disease, only minor and rare wars - and we've bred the toughness out of people. Toughened folks don't sweat the little stuff, but they do take care to fix the big problems. They also learn about sacrifice, altruism, selflessness, etc. Well done.
