(please be good enough to read the following, before you open and hopefully read all of the attachment.) Folks, What with the serious moral decline in our Nation I though perhaps I'd impose upon you, for your consideration, what I deem to be a solution to the problem. Be mindful that one does not have to belong to a Religion to improve one's morality. If your an atheistic Marxist Communist/Socialist you can substitute the word, God, (in the attachment) with either the name, Creator, or if you don't believe in a Creator, then you can substitute using the word Father; i.e. the dominant male in a traditional family/household. No offense intended to those atheists who love Freedom. My diatribe makes an effort to deal with raising a child by a 'traditional' family; heterosexual male and female. In those increasing number of cases where two lesbians mate and the femme decides she wants a child using artificial insemination, then I guess the substitute word would be the name of the dominant 'dyke', oops! I should have written the more masculine of the two. In the case of two gays mating (gay=those given to social pleasures) and both wish to adopt a child (I don't believe science has yet perfected artificial insemination for the male), then the substitute word would be the name of the more 'straight' of the two males. Our children have sustained serious psychological harm because of the absence of the father figure-head in the traditional family. Some say the lack of male assertiveness is hereditary; a point I choose not to argue in this message. By whatever means two people choose to raise a child, there has to be an assertive father-figure in order for the child to fulfill his/her intrinsic nature/needs and not fall victim to the fear and guilt associated with dysfunctional parents. I have found that it's usually the female which is the primary source of victimization of the child. This takes place when the female is not receiving the love she perceives she's entitled to from the male; the male possibly having been the product of loveless parents. On the other hand, the male may be more aggressive and the female more passive, in which case the male becomes disgruntled and unsatisfied; the female becoming guilty. While certainly not inclusive of the reasons for conflict between the parents with ultimate adverse affect on the children, the child senses an imbalance in their relationship and tends to favor one or the other parent with the result of nurturing a fear or disrespect of one or both of the parents. This fear and/or disrespect on the part of the child is, I believe, the primary reason our society is experiencing so many problems with our young. The child just isn't receiving the unrequited love of both parents. One could also add to the reasons the element of greed in our society, which compels both parents to become breadwinners simply to fulfill the false desire for material goods. There are, in my view, many affluent parents, both working, who do a horrible job of raising children, while at the same time parents living in marginal poverty will have many children knowing the difference between the two words, 'want' and 'need'; i.e. they have given their children Love in place of material goods. Folks, this problem of greed could be greatly minimized simply by removing all the thieves in our federal, state, and local governments; this requires you to vote. While critics of this Post will, no doubt, immediately jump on my generalizations, which I have used as to why are Nation is in a severe moral decline, there can be no mistake that the materially of our increasingly, insidious socialist society is being used by the products of our dumb-downed government school system as a substitute for the Love they never had from either one or both of their parents. All the symbols of Love have been removed from the corrupt government schools. What replacement has been offered by the incompetent teachers and socialist administrators, not to mention the corrupt Marxist government school unions? None! When the child returns home from being 'cared for' in the corrupt government school, does the child find Love? No! The parents are too busy stroking each others ego, and have no time for the needs of the child. Is a hired childcare giver/TV a good substitute for Love? Parents have been having children long before the advent of organized religion; many contend organized religion is the problem - a point the atheists proclaim. No Folks, Church-going families use institutionalized religion as a means to substitute for their inability to teach the blessings of Love at home. The point being a family which is loving has acquired that lifestyle from their families. The attachment, which you are about to open, contains the Law of Love which has been used by generations for thousands of years; I may be in error, but I don't believe there was an organized religion at the time of the inception of the Law of Love. Sadly to say, the forces of evil have made every effort to circumvent the Law of Love; you know who they are, don't you? To all of you who are child-rearing parents I sincerely hope that I have touched some cord in your Soul that will compel you to meditate the positives/negatives of your present lifestyle and somehow relate them to the Law of Love. Only you can examine your past and determine if you had a loving family upbringing, and are using those bonds of Love to transform an innocent child into a mature responsible individual proud of both his/her parents. Finally, make no mistake: There must be a father-figure in the family for a child to properly develop. My kind appreciation to you for reading my Post and feel free to comment with remarks that are worthy of sharing with the original recipients of this Post. May our Nation recover the long lost rapture of our past to enable us all to live in a joyful and peaceful future. Its achievement, Folks, depends on how you will vote in 2000, i.e. no more Liberals. Bard PS: I anticipate replies such as, "There goes that wacky Bard again". That's OK. I know where I'm coming from and have a life experience which offers me some credibility in what I am writing. Also, there is a Website available to those of you experiencing problems raising your children and with relationships in general. I would be more than happy to furnish the address if you request it of me. We don't need a 3rd Party; we need a 2nd Party!
Exodus 20 1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13 Thou shalt not kill. 14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15 Thou shalt not steal. 16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. 18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
