I have a serious issue with how some people dress anymore. And not just recently.
In 1995, our daughter matriculated at Nebraska Wesleyan University. NWU is a Methodist school, and one of the functions in the process for parents was a service that was billed as a religious ceremony. I dressed appropriately in a coat and tie.
I was dumbfounded to see some fathers show up wearing greasy baseball caps, which they didn't bother to remove, and T shirts with beer slogans or worse. The mothers were hardly dressed any better. These were the grandparents of today's group of teenagers and twenty somethings. Apparently it's been a downward slide for years.
A couple of weeks ago, as a county commissioner who is liaison to some 4H activities, I was invited to attend a 4H awards meeting on a Sunday afternoon. I wore dockers and a sport coat, no tie. Most of the awards recipients and their fathers looked like they'd just come in out of the corrals. I noticed one recipient actually did have manure on his boots. This on a Sunday afternoon. I will say most of the mothers were fairly well dressed, but why in heck didn't they clean up their kids?
Why are we becoming a nation of slobs? I can recall a time in my single days in the 1950's and 1960's when I seldom went out on the town in the evening without wearing a coat and tie, unless just going out for a quick cup of coffee and snack.
