And their narcissism helps LEOs track them down much faster. I say let’m think they are the smartest and best looking guys and gals on the planet. We know they’re not and deep down they know they’re not.

One thing I findfunny is that all of those liberal drug induced intellectuals that think they are smarter than you are so dumb they leave tons of bread crumbs to follow them right to their doorsteps. One guy had a photo of a vehicle with the license plate showing; ran it and tracked the guy right down to the house he was staying at... Idiot!....LOL

We are very blessed to live in a small American city where our children are receiving an excellent and yet reasonably priced Catholic education (thanks to a community that goes to church on Sunday and fills the collection baskets so that even kids without the means can to the catholic schools if they want.) The catholic high school here is consistently in the nations top 50 catholic schools.

I feel that some of the blame for this narcissism in our youth results from parents and teachers who refuse to allow children to experience failure. Fear of failure snuffs out potential. In an effort to make sure “the little dears never feel bad about themselves” they are never allowed to fail. If you look at history the greatest amongst us are those who failed over and over again until they got it right.

A personal example. Our oldest daughter loves the theatre and had the lead in a couple of middle school plays. Fast forward to high school in a new school in a new town with a really outstanding drama department. She auditioned freshman year for a one act play. Didn’t get a part. She auditioned again for the musical. Again... didn’t get a part. Instead of sulking she worked technical crew with the spotlights. A hot and thankless job...but the director took notice of her work ethic... Fast forward to this her sophomore year. Got a small part in the children’s play Pinocchio. She gave it her all and got noticed. Auditioned for the one act play again this year... got a part and is going to the state one act festival. Would never have happened if she quit after not getting a part in the musical.

Motto in our house is 1. Never give up and 2. no guts no glory.

Ironically in our country amongst many of our youth the fear of failure is exactly what is causing them to fail.
