--  If the behavior I've witnessed over the past week is "normal" for the majority of young men and women being raised in America, the future of our country is more bleak than I thought.  On two seperate accounts, my family was on the front lines of teenagers in action.  Their language was foul.  Their intentions were dishonorable.  Their temperament was disgusting.  They had no respect for authority, elders, women and children, each other or themselves.  Common courtesy appears to be an obsolete practice.

--  I guess I shouldn't limit the finger pointing to youth.  I am from South Carolina, and we all know what the governor has been up to.  Is this why young people act the way they do?  Maybe their fathers have been more concerned with the mistress?  How do you teach what you do not live?

--  Our country needs prayer.  We need God's hand to reach down and touch the lives of Americans.  We need fathers to pick up God's Word and be the spiritual leaders in the home.  We need a solid moral foundation.  We need our hearts to be turned back to the Creator.
