Agreed. But the irresponsible are people too. We do have a responsibility to make them to see their errors and encourage change. I think churches and their congregations should feel some kind of obligation to make an effort to do so whenever possible. This is why I think sanctuary is a good idea. It gives religion a slightly bigger authority in the “reform” process that prisons otherwise would have a monopoly. It also plays well into my belief that big brother is too big and should be downsized. I’m in favor of upsizing the responsibilities of private charities. I see sanctuary as one small way to do that. The surest way to whittle away at big brother’s size is to whittle away at his authority. I like the idea of sanctuary.
If we don't like the fact that Big Brother is getting so big all we have to do is get off our lazy asses, unite into a determined group with one cause and replace *him* while we still have the possibilities of doing so.
"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it." - Mark Twain
This nonsense of reelecting RINO's into congressional and senatorial seats is idiotic and lamebrained. The idea of Party support is equally so. How can anyone expect to accomplish a goal with divided allegiance? It is obvious or should be that our two parties are actually one party striving for a New World Order under UN leadership. If they ever figure out how to disarm the people then accomplishment of a NWO will be a forgone conclusion.
>I’m in favor of upsizing the responsibilities of private charities.<
You mean something like many *United Way* charities ..... where executives are paid outrageous salaries and the goals are determined by NGO's who benefit from the citizens contributions.
Corruption has eaten its way into every organization where large cash deposits are exist. That is a fact of life today. Morals have sank beneath the surface of reasonable acceptability. The Christian religion upon which this nation was founded is being shunned by the public schools and agencies.
Perverted sex behavior is being taught to our children with government approval and only a tiny outcry is heard from concerned parents.
I, personally don't see much hope for our culture or our way of life in the upcoming generations.
I'm not sure I agree with this saying but these days, it does appear correct -- “in a democracy, the people get the government they deserve.” We have the ability to make changes, yet we don't.
Are we cowards, afraid to stand up and be counted as rebels.
