Sticking your nose into other people’s business?

You want to know what’s wrong with our society? Our biggest problem is that we live in a society that no longer values the concept of not sticking one’s nose into other people’s business. We are, as Dennis Miller likes to point out, increasingly becoming a culture of “nosey Nellys”, and this from a culture originally founded upon the principles of freedom!

Make no mistake about it: the desire to tell other people how to live their lives is a character flaw. It is a personality defect. Our grandparent’s generation would have considered it a social “faux pas” of the highest magnitude, and so should we.
