Mother Teresa well understood the destructive impact of radical selfishness. Regarding abortion she declared, "[I]f we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? ... Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of peace and love is abortion." Mother Teresa rightly understood that when one form of killing is accepted on the basis of personal convenience, other forms of violence will inevitably follow.

Great prescience and truth.

Jesus warned us, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:19-21 NIV) Jesus' words were a repudiation of materialism and an exhortation to value those things that endure throughout eternity. In our consumer-driven age, we would do well to heed his words.

Words to live and love by.

It happened in odumboland, in a mall that has been patronized by odumbodrones and acorn types for years.

That is true. But there are thousands of Walmarts in this country, and said incident occurred at but one of them. So it is not representative of all who shop on the day after Thanksgiving. I really dont see how it tells us anything about the population as a whole.

If anything, it is the horror with which the public has reacted that is more meaningful.

Good article. The world is reaping a culture of death.

Even before the sad passing of the Walmart employee, society has been declining for years to keep the true guide of “love thy neighbor as thyself.”
