America in the 1950s/ 1960s and 1970s, was run and built on a us society, team work and helping others was big. You got a flat tire someone stopped to help you change it, you saw a hungry person you gave them a few bucks and fed them a meal You saw someone injured or sick you called 911 or for help! That was those days in America and they were good days, bread was affordable, food was affordable, and so were clothing and medical supplies.
Then came the 1980s and Bill Cosby and The Cosby Show hit the air waves. Bill’s talk to your children, don’t hit your children theme may have been good for physiological reasons and the right thing to say and do, but it stunk as far as discipline and direction for our children and produced the problem people of America of the 2000s. A child who does wrong when they know they are doing wrong needs a good swat now and then to go the right direction and way. This permissiveness bull, is ruining American society in many ways and producing madmen and maniacs who are killing and hurting others. Sadly America is failing it’s children in more ways then one.
Today American children have cell phones, computers, video game systems and more and can’t get off their rear ends and do a damn thing. The cry when you take it all away from them, but ask them when they last read a book, or shoveled a walk, or helped build something, or even cleaned a car or yard, never will be their answer or oh that was long ago. Their hands and eyes and minds are tied to video games, keyboards and cell phones. They have to keep up with their neighbors and friends in the electronic gadget world of today in America. Why? What ever happened to work won’t hurt you, earn what you want you will value it more? Sadly, when America’s society started enforcing laws that allow children to file for divorce from their parents, and to get their own parents arrested for spanking or smacking them, well we have gone too far.
I am not saying abuse your children or beat them senseless or something along that way, I would never advocate that. But I am saying there are times when a child needs a good cuff upside their head or a smack on the rear to go straight and do right. What we end up with because of a lack of discipline, are children who demand more for less and when they don’t get what they want, they turn into lazy renters, lazy employees, people who can’t hold jobs or pay their bills, who then blame society and all around them for their problems and sit there and say, well they wouldn’t help me, so I acted out, and did something stupid or deadly to another human being. Sadly this is what happened in Arizona and elsewhere, with these madman and mentally incompetent people shooting others. May we one day realize a little discipline and guidance and teaching go a long way!.
America was built and is still built on the Constitution, The Bill Of Rights, and a society meant to be a We The People Society, which means it is us against the world, not me for me, but us against the world. One Nation joined in efforts to improve it’s own society, to help one another, not just yourselves!.
God Bless America, and lets hope we can help our own by pulling back from wars we do not belong in, and applying that money and funding to housing our own homeless, medicating our own sick and ill, feeding our hungry. Lets take care of America and Americans first and foremost before we had the world help, lets help ourselves!
