It is late, my wife is sick, and I should be in bed. But I had to take a few minutes to rant. We just got back from one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen, "He's just not that into you". Everything about that movie was immoral. Every character was morally lacking and the entire movie was a giant (extremely long and drawn out) glorification of extra-marital relationships. Two thumbs WAY down!
Which leads me to the point of this blog. What kind of world are we leaving for our kids? Everywhere you turn there is sex, violence, and addiction. People cheat each other and back out of commitments if it is inconvenient. Things that were deplorable 20 years ago have become commonplace, accepted, and embraced. We have become morally bankrupt as a society, and everyday we spiral down even further. It seems like every morning I read something or hear about something else that absolutely disgusts me.
And then there is the financial situation we are leaving for our children. Our government is about to borrow another trillion dollars to "stimulate" the economy. With all of the great financial minds in Washington, the best they could come up with is spend another trillion dollars (on a lot of pork I might add, but we won't get into that here). Mark my words, this will be a colossal mistake and our generation plus the next 3 or 4 will be paying for it!
So what can we do when it seems like there is no hope for our children to lead a decent life? The only answer is to stengthen the home. Fortify the family to create a safehaven from the tempests of the world. Create a place where our kids will take shelter when it just gets to be too much. Family, Family, Family.
End Rant.

Funny you should write something like this. Just last night I was talking to Retep about some of the TV shows I had recently watched. I was commenting that not one person or couple on the shows was married. They were all sleeping around, divorced, cheating on their spouse, or pursuing alternative lifestyles. There was nothing that even signified that marriage was important. I started pondering why it is this way? Is this what we have come to expect as being okay in our society. Is this what our world has come to? Is this the message that we want to send to our children or ourselves? That we just want people to get together with or without the commitment that comes with marriage. The networks know they have you. They know that you will keep watching in the hopes that your favorite people will someday get together, but in the meantime you can watch them screw everyone else on the show. Thanks for the heads up on the movie, we really wanted to go see it!
Don't forget to not spoil your kids! ONE PIECE OF CHEESE PER DAY!
...those were the days that I never partook of... perhaps that is why I am so financially compulsive.
