Observe and Serve: RESOLVE to SAVE the U.S.A.

My sister observed about her eldest son, a 26 year old who’s still working part time as a barista at Starbucks while he “takes meetings” with potential investors in his silly, shallow movie script, that he spent 3 years in California, living with a bunch of friends who “see nothing wrong with going on unemployment”.

We are in desperate need of people who meet the criteria Laz describes. I wonder how to go about motivating bright but lazy minds to actually READ the foundational documents of faith and nation. Steve Curtis Chapman described it a decade or more ago as “playing Gameboy [while] sittin’ in the middle of the Grand Canyon”. CS Lewis talked about a little boy sitting making mud pies in a slum because he can’t imagine what is meant by a holiday at the shore.

There must be a way. I pledge to seek it and share my suggestions here on FR - they may not be much, but perhaps they’ll spark a mind brighter than mine.

“Lord, heal our land.” My regards and my respect, gentlemen.

BTTT’s are slippery little suckahs.

It is human to want to take the easy way out.

No it's not. It's animal-like. Humans aspire to better things. That said, your piece is spot on, because I don't think the takers/looters are human. They lack a lot of other human characteristics as well, such as compassion and conscience.

Series, excellent piece, these are the words our
President should be speaking but what we get is
class division, envy, and hate.

Any acolades I might offer would be poor in comparison.

Very impressed.

Hopefully, my essay above will thoroughly confuse and disturb you. :)

[Girlene]

Excellent advice....couldn’t agree more.

“install = instill (facepalm)”

Actually, “install” makes sense when you think about it.

[Lazamataz]

Thank you sir. If you see fit, spread these words on venues you may have: Facebook, et. al.

[LibLieSlayer]

Amen brother!

Do all of these things in humility, and serve the forgotten among us with love.

“Actually, “install” makes sense when you think about it.”

Right. Some people may be inclined to resist the instilling and need to have something “installed” with a bit more forceful persuasion.

Rise above the base. Rise above the profane. Raise the bar to a new standard.

You're gonna have to rise above "I'd Hit Hit" first, bud.

Unquestionably, it is uplifting to read a piece like this.

Morals are the core of a society. More laws or taxes won't help. Before we can elect great leaders we have to raise them.

[Fast Moving Angel]

I agree completely with tet68 - couldn’t have said it better myself. Awesome work, Laz.

[Lazamataz]

But I really would hit it.

In fact, I'm gonna hit every single point in this essay.
