Today in America

     Today in America we see so many things wrong it just pressures your brain to decipher it all.  I spoke to my father today and I and he had been thinking out loud about the last 40 years to this country. I was one of those blessed children that got to travel a lot when I was young and had very strong parents as well. We discussed the differences of the day. How the culture of our society has changed and how even our language has change in just a short period of time. But the one thing I cannot nail down is how or why our children have become so entitled and living without empathy.  You hear stories in the news that make your hair stand up on the back of your neck. Violent and outrageous things, vile and contemptible actions against one another.  So what have we lost along the way? While speaking to my father I noticed we spoke a lot about family and the values that came with that premise. Family: Love and understanding and most of all guidance and firmness for the rights and wrongs you deal with along the way, also family dinners and going to church as one family, taking up for each other but most of all being there for each other. Knowing that even at the age of 16 we did not have all the answers. And even between my generation my father's and my grandfathers generation their were always simple values we all shared.  God, Country and Family, all equally important no matter which comes first. Now I have noticed over the last several years that has all changed to read: Me,Myself and my stuff. Now as you can clearly see that has been a very drastic change. Me and my father both surmised that change has come into itself from the mid 90's through til today. So the Question is what has changed?

     Well the first thing I noticed when I was raising my kids in the 90's was the widespread use of so called ADHD drugs and ADD drugs. And then come the Psychologist on TV, that showed 3 generations of children, how to blame it on your parents, or your child has to medicated, or they eat too much sugar. It was always something but just not the right thing. The breakup of  the family unit plays the biggest part as of today. Children raised by parents that were lulled  into being a little easier on their children( "because you have been  too hard on them".) Or the favorite expression I have heard so far, is you do not understand your children, but we the Psychologist do. We and the Government will take care of your family for you.  Now that the Government is involved it puts into perspective what me and my Father were getting to during the conversation.

     They have taken the term Modern family and changed the definition. That is what all of this has been about. Modern family: Baby momma, Baby daddy, Two moms, Two dads, My dad's in prison, My mom is in prison God in not real, and families are not real.  This is what so called progress has brought us to this point. I feel if we do not find a way to bring this back to it's original beginnings we are in a world of hurt. If we do not take back the term Modern family we will continue down this path to total destruction.  We need to stop letting children marry children and we need the sternness of the American family back. It would not hurt anyone in this country to set down at dinner and be kind to each other and go to church together, or any activity that involves the whole family. Talk to your kids and give them the stern talk and love that a father and mother should. Tell them that getting pregnant at 16 is not normal and marriages do not happen at 16. Boycott the very people who perpetuate these norms and the shows that glorify broken families and broken dreams of young women and men before they ever have a chance to experience life. If you do not fight to change this now you have given up and it is over. And there is nothing left to say.


Family is dead, God is not real, and the Government knows best. (Ask yourself, do you really believe that?)
