Rush Limbaugh was on fire yesterday and addressed that empty argument of giving kids condoms because they are going to have sex anyway. He said, then give them a cigarette afterward, and open up the liquor cabinet for them, too. They are going to smoke and drink anyway.
I say give them the answer keys to their tests, too -- they are just gonna cheat in school. It's so humiliating to cheat and still give a wrong answer.
If we cannot believe in the possibility, much less the probability, of virtuous children and youth, then let's all just give up right now.
Even if you don't buy into the promiscuity theory of the day, it is tough to try and raise virtuous kids in the current cultural environment when everything they see and hear around them sends them the message that their parents are wrong and that it is natural to express themselves sexually...apparently, in any way they choose and at any age. Mom and Dad don't even have to know about it and the law will help you dishonor and defy your them. I hate to think what it will be like for our children's children.
Billy Graham's daughter:
"...I would say also for several years now Americans in a sense have shaken their fist at God and said, God, we want you out of our schools, our government, our business, we want you out of our marketplace. And God, who is a gentleman, has just quietly backed out of our national and political life, our public life. Removing his hand of blessing and protection. We need to turn to God first of all and say, God, we're sorry we have treated you this way and we invite you now to come into our national life. We put our trust in you. We have our trust in God on our coins, we need to practice it."

Without God in our country and in our lives; things will go very badly for us.
