I was watching a show last night on the Liberty Channel that featured Dennis Prager. Mr. Prager started talking about the fact that we are much less free now than we were in the past.
He mentioned that he was able to buy cigarettes for his mother when he was 10 years old.
That got me to wondering what other freedoms we've lost that our children will never know about. Maybe it would be a good idea to let them know so they can get an idea of what it means to boil a frog slowly.
In what ways do you think we are less free now?
You just reminded me that we used to say grace before lunch in my Maryland government school in 1961 and 1962. If I remember correctly we also said the Lord’s Prayer in addition to the Pledge of Allegiance.
And the Juvenile Crime rate has risen throughout the years in accordance with the amount of God that has been erased from the lives of young people in public school...sad. There are no more moral compasses for students to lean on or learn from.
And they wonder why there are so many school shootings.
