I've seen a "fuck it" type of attitude on the rise all over the place. Littering, sloppy driving, running red lights, cutting other drivers off, etc. We always had those things, but I think, in all seriousness, that with our current leader showing a disregard for the rules, everyone wonders what the point is of being civil and civic minded. That bad behavior is on the rise.

My buddy up the road was coming north from his house in southern DE, and traffic is medium. He's running about 80 and sees a car way back weaving in and out of traffic, had to be doing over 100. He looks over as she goes by and she's texting.

We stumbled into this during our post ride bull session. My buddies wife and both kids have had their vehicles damaged anonymously in parking lots recently. Not one note. He also asked if my local rednecks were worse than his because he rolled by our place recently and was amazed at the damn trash along the road.
