Well worth the time
to read...
In light of the shooting
in a Michigan school
Let's
see, I think it started when
Madeline Murray O'Hare
complained
she didn't want any
prayer in our
schools, and we said
OK..
Then someone said
you better not
read the Bible in
school, the Bible that
says thou shalt not
kill, thou shalt
not steal, and love
your neighbor yourself.
And we said,
OK..
Dr. Benjamin
Spock said we
shouldn't spank our
children when they misbehave
because their little
personalities
would be warped and
we might damage their
self-esteem. And
we said, an expert
should know what
he's talking about so
we won't spank
them anymore..
Then someone
said teachers and
principals better
not discipline our children
when they misbehave.
And the
school administrators
said no faculty member in
this school better
touch a student
when they misbehave
because we don't want
any bad publicity,
and we surely
don't want to be
sued.
And we accepted their
reasoning..
Then someone
said, let's let our
daughters have abortions
if they want, and
they won't even have
to tell their
parents. And
we said, that's a grand idea..
Then some wise school
board member
said, since boys
will be boys and they're
going to do it anyway,
let's give
our sons all the
condoms they want, so they
can have all the
fun they desire,
and we won't have
to tell their parents
they got them at
school. And we
said, that's another
great idea..
Then some of
our top elected
officials said it
doesn't matter what we do
in private as long
as we do our
jobs. And agreeing
with them, we said it
doesn't matter to
me what anyone,
including the President,
does in private
as long as I have
a job and the
economy is good..
And then
someone said let's print
magazines with pictures
of nude women
and call it wholesome
down-to-earth
appreciation for
the beauty of the
female body.
And we said we have
no problem with that..
And someone
else took that appreciation
a step
further and published
pictures of
children and then
stepped further
still by making them
available on the
internet. And
we said they're
entitled to their
free speech..
And the entertainment
industry
said, let's make
TV shows and movies
that promote profanity,
violence,
and illicit sex.
And let's record
music that encourages
rape, drugs,
murder, suicide, and
satanic themes..
And we said it's
just entertainment,
it has no adverse
effect, and nobody
takes it seriously
anyway, so go
right ahead..
Therefore,
now we're asking
ourselves why our
children have no
conscience,
why they don't know
right from wrong,
and why it doesn't
bother them to kill
strangers,
their classmates,
and themselves.
Probably,
if we think about it long
and hard enough,
we can figure
it out. I think
it has a great
deal to do with...
"WE REAP WHAT
WE SOW."
Pass
it on if you think it has
merit! If not
then just discard.....
but if you discard
this thought
process, then don't
sit back and
complain about what
bad shape the
world is in...VOICE
YOUR OPINION HOWEVER
YOU CAN!
