Moral Absolutes Ping.

You may remember a couple of articles about the American Girl dolls and where its money goes. Here's a non-reponse response from the company. Apparently it doesn't bother them that their money promotes teen abortion, homosexual experimentation and similar other social ills.

Just you know!

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

Note that these organizations helping girls are always helping them with math, science, leadership skills, and so on but never promote being a good wife and mother. Hmmm. Are those vital roles out of fashion? If girls don't aspire to be good wives and mothers, what will happen to the country?

God help us if being a "good wife and mother", or being a "good spouse and parent" are things one has to learn - like calculus, chemistry or accounting. If those are no longer innate in us, we're doomed as a species.

Also on the other side of the coin, we need to promote the idea of being a good husband and father in men too. I might be having a Michael Savage moment here but if we don't fight to preserve the moral foundations along with the basic traditional ways of life that has made this country great such as family values and so on, we do deserve to lose to whatever comes along. The first priority in anything is our survival, if we don't do that, we will lose anyhow. We will be ourbred by the Third World and the Islamo-Fascists while chasing the "bling" (goodies of a hedonistic lifestyle, a word from the hip-hop subculture) with unbridled greed. I remember Glenn Beck talked about this on his show a few times to where we are too busy being ultra-consumers as the expense of family and so on and I think this plays into all of this as well. I remember Beck said that on average, we were better off under the type of America we had under the 48 star flag and I have to agree with him.

Sure, I have nothing against anyone and everyone learning things like math and science and so on. One needs to know how to think logically as well as have basic job skills to fall back on, but it should be taught in tandem with family values and skills.

New slogan: "I CAN kill my baby!"

Doesn't seem appropriate for a company that sells baby dolls, does it?
