Paul Harvey read this on his radio show.
For the life of me, I can't understand what could have gone wrong in
Littleton, Colo. If only the parents had kept their children away from the
guns, we wouldn't have had such a tragedy. Yeah, it must have been the
guns.
It couldn't have been because of half our children being raised in
broken homes. It couldn't have been because our children get to spend an
average of 30 seconds in meaningful conversation with their parents each
day. After all, we give our children quality time.
It couldn't have been because we treat our children as pets and our pets
as children.
It couldn't have been because we place our children in day care
centers where they learn their socialization skills among their peers
under the law of the jungle while employees who have no vested interest in
the children look on and make sure that no blood is spilled.
It couldn't have been because we allow our children to watch, on
average, seven hours of television a day filled with the glorification
of sex and violence that isn't fit for adult consumption.
It couldn't have been because we allow (or even encourage) our
children to enter into virtual worlds in which, to win the game, one
must kill as many opponents as possible in the most sadistic way possible.
It couldn't have been because we have sterilized and contracepted our
families down to sizes so small that the children we do have are so
spoiled with material things that they come to equate the receiving of the material
with love.
It couldn't have been because our children, who historically have been
seen as a blessing from God, are now being viewed as either a mistake
created when contraception fails or inconveniences that parents try to
raise in their spare time.
It couldn't have been because we give two-year prison sentences to
teenagers who kill their newborns.
It couldn't have been because our school systems teach the children that
they are nothing but glorified apes who have evolutionized out of some
primordial soup of mud...
It couldn't have been because we teach our children that there are no
laws of morality that transcend us, that everything is relative and that
actions don't have consequences.
What the heck, the president getsaway with it.
Nah, it must have been the guns.
What the heck, the president getsaway with it.
He must have read this while Clinton was still in office? Do you know the date, more or less?
I wish i knew the date but it had to be in the clinton era because Paul Harvey cant say enough good about Bush.... but the sight wasnt dated so ...
You just gotta love it. Ain't it the truth.
