Where Did It All Begin?

Let's see, I think it started when MadelineMurray O'Hare complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools,
And we said OK..

Then someone said you better not read theBible in school, the Bible that says thou shalt not kill, thoushalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself.

And we said,OK..

Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave 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 agreeing with them, we said it doesn't matter to me what anyone, including the President, does in private as long as I have a job and the
economy is good..

And then someone said let's print magazines with pictures of nude women and call it wholesome down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the female
body. And we said we have no problem with that..

And someone else took that appreciationa step further and published pictures of nude children and then stepped further still by making them available on
the internet. And we said they're entitled to their free speech..

And the entertainment industry said, let'smake 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, ithas no adverse effect, and nobody takes it seriously anyway,
so go right ahead..

Therefore, now we're asking ourselves whyour children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, We can figure it out.

I think it has a great deal to do with...
"We reap what we sow."
