Three out of four Americans are worried that the United States is
in moral and spiritual decline, according to a poll taken by Newsweek.
Those questioned said that crime, drugs, family breakups and low
moral and ethical standards were the problems that most concerned
them. Seventy-two percent said character questions detract from
President Bill Clinton's ability to exert moral leadership and 58
percent said they believe he is a fair or poor role model.
The poll was released just as the U.S. Supreme Court refused to
let Cobb County, Georgia, display a 3-by-5-foot artwork depicting the
Ten Commandments and teachings of Jesus.
"I certainly regret that they refused to hear it," said county
attorney Dotty Bishop. County officials had urged justices to allow
greater accommodation of religion in public life.
"The judicial branch of our government has been allowed to
coerce the American people into an amoral straight jacket which has
begun to tear our society apart at the seams," the county's appeal said.
