What Socrates was no doubt referring to was the apparent change in behaviour as his culture became more liberal. The predominant movement of 'aculturation' was from the east ( where children are to this day, more respectfull, and respectable, albeit just as playful, and dare I say it, generally more mature and happier in themselves) to the west. The decline in self-awareness, that is, the ability to determine one's relationship to everything and thus how to behave in a manner most conducive to peace and harmony, if that be one's choice in life, was what caused the elect to judge Socrates wrongly for his beliefs.

It's also interesting to note that apparantly our perceptions change in a predictable manner as we get older. Too bad Socrates didn't have the benefit of reading the same comment 2,000 years earlier or perhaps he'd have told us all exactly what that means. ;-) Take care, John True.

In fact, it's a kind of a delight to know that sort of behaviour has been a constant throughout human history. John, it goes to show everyone that nothing has changed re: children.
