Culture America

     Well to began with I am sure people will not like everything I say on this subject, but it needs to be part of the general discussion.

     I read a post from a Dear friend today on Facebook, and found that in the concept she was right on about the state of our children today. I know most of you who grew up in the 60s and 70s heard this very statement, I walked 5 miles to school and was working when I was 10. Also when they had gotten into trouble the parent at the time disciplined the children, and that in turn thought  them right from wrong. They never medicated them, with unheard of physiological disorders. Most of these disorders today are made up to sell high priced medicines. You never heard of mass shooting in school, even though we had the same access to guns as we do today.

     I seen her point when she pointed out the fact we give our children everything possible and tell them they are never wrong and always number one, no losers. everyone gets a trophy and everyone wins an award. There in lies the problem, they do not know how to lose. They do not know that it is OK to lose. They have no idea that in losing that in-turn teaches them how to change their strategy the next go around.. Also how to make them better when they go at it again.

     The gun culture in this country is not the fault of the gun but of the teacher, the parent. Just as a car accident is not the cars fault but the drivers. Look in the news today and what do you see, wars in just about every country, splashed all over the television 24hrs a day. Video games so violent they have to be rated. Children setting behind these games for hours and days on end. That in-turn changes the way the brain accepts information about death and killing. Most of these games are played by children ages 10 to 21. The age of reasoning. all of that information they learn at that age will imprint on their brain, and if their is no check and or balance there, well the brain is left trying to sort out right from wrong. That is were a good parent comes in. They will explain the difference between real life and a fantasy.

     But the problem with this situation is far greater then just the Parents. Our society has accepted mass death as a curiosity and then it is turned into a 24 hour news cycle of spotting the problem, with everyone having the right idea. And all along we missed the real problem. Family values are gone, fundamental religious values are being destroyed. Families are being replaced by gangs. And our children are being exposed to an unreal world, a fantasy.

     If we do not recognize this we are doomed as a society. The great debate is getting rid of the, everybody wins no one loses. A society cannot learn from that. When we stop learning and thinking we are all great and we never lose, we then become arrogant spoiled narcissistic stereotypes. (You know like our President is). You know beer summits fake tears also fake religions beliefs, and so on.
(Example) Bill Clinton gets a sexual favor in the White House that he says is not sex, and our children now think just like that, it's not sex because he did it.

     I know we say take back our country, but we need to take back our families. People raise families not the government.
