>How did this get started?…

>—————–
>
>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 neighbors as yourself,”
>
>And we said, OK…
>
>—————–
>
>Dr. Benjamin Spock said >we shouldn’t spank our children
>when they misbehaved 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 we said, it doesn’t matter what anybody, including the President,
>does in private as long as we have jobs and the economy is good….
>
>——————
>
>And someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children and then stepped further still by making them available on the Internet.
>
>And we said, everyone’s entitled to 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 and it has no adverse effect and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead.
>
>——————
>
>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, classmates or even themselves.
>
>——————

>Undoubtedly, if we thought about it long and hard enough, we could figure it out. I’m sure 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 it… but if you discard this thought process, then don’t you dare sit back and complain about what bad shape this country is in
