So glad I am not raising kids. Would not know how to explain – breaking the law is now fashionably”OK”.
Would not know how to explain – even after taking an OATH of Office to abide by and uphold the law as a congressman, sheriff, police officer or any other public servant is “OK” to break.
If history teaches us anything great nations (Babylon, Greece, Troy, Egypt, Rome, all of them eventually fell. The decline comes in stages:
Stage 1 – Bondage to Spiritual Faith – Stage 2 – Spiritial Faith to Great Courage – Stage 3 Great Courage to Liberty – Stage 4 Liberty to Abundance – Stage 5 Abundance to Selfishness – Stage 6 Selfishness to Complacency – Stage 7
Complacency to Apathy – Stage 8 Apathy to Moral Decay – Stage 9 Moral Decay to Dependence – Stage 10 Dependence to Bondage.
Other factors are is the futile expectancy to maintain greatness. The Roman Empire exemplifies this! As Rome expanded her Empire it had to create bigger armies which eventually became weakened by the need to spread so thin to cover so much territory. Home was left unattended and fell to lawlessness.
The Decline of the Family – as families go so go a nation. Who is teaching our youth, what are they being taught? When lack of respect for self and others mix with lack of morality, political, economic and social enfluences, people tend to become sheep and follow a large noisy crowd that usually is moving in the wrong direction.
What I am getting at is… take a look at the GREAT USA! Where ARE WE? Name calling – hatred ramping up on all sides, children dying in senseless murders, cities going to ruin, Americans… our people are homeless and going hungry.
Everyone from the POTUS to the grass roots sign holding acitivists STOP for a moment and work together! GET THE BIG PICTURE! Nothing will get done with finger pointing, tweets, real or fake news! Action and positive reinforcement is what works. FIX America – FIX HOME – The World can wait! It has no choice.
