There are no pat answers for the senseless
slaughter of our young children in schools. There dose seem to be several
commonalities among these mindless killers.
1. MUSIC --- In the past generations,
through Elvis, all had messages of love. Today, punk rockers glorify
shooting cops, satanic worship, Hitler; the same low mind-numbing bass, thump
thump thump in the background. Their posters and dress are always hidious
and in morbid black.
2. MOVIES AND VIDEOS --- Anti-heroes who kill up to
a hundres people with never a sigh of remorse are humanized video games.
Play one long enough and that becomes mind-numbing, too.
3. DRUGS AND DRUNKENNESS --- Combine them all and
this is what you get.
Some suggestions: During World
War 2, movies came out with many propaganda films that brought this nation
together as never before. Neighbors came together in any and every
possible way and we won the war as a family team. The moviemakers could do
it again if they would.
Schools should take a page out of
their coach's book and begin to teach and push team spirit throughout the entire
school, looking out for one another. It could start with jocks and seniors
befriending thoes around them instead of belittling them. They are
family.
Introduce pep rallies concerning love of country
with lots of our paatriotic music. Let the children know what it is like
to feel the hair on the back of your neck stand up while singing such songs as
"America The Beautiful". Most have probably never heard such
songs.
The "American Communist Lawyers Union" has
convinced the schools to chuck GOD out and you know who walked in. The
writers of our constitution wanted the BIBLE in schools. Their intention
was never to remove GOD and country from schools. I do not believe that
the schools would be teaching the BIBLE if the TEN COMMANDMENTS were
taught. Someone has to teach simple, common-sense morality. What is
wrong with that?
