“There is a world out there that continues to degrade while you stick your head in the sand. Its not all about you or your toddler.”
I’m not sticking my head in the sand. I know it’s there. Yes, there is a “world” out there. I’m a Christian, thus mandated to be in it, not of it. As I’ve repeatedly tried to point out, we don’t have to be a victim of it. We, especially as parents, can say “no.” When I read a “boo hoo” article about a parent having no control over the tv remote, well, I can’t help but call that playing the victim of how the tv remote keeps one from being a good parent. The left is very good at abdicating personal responsibility. “My child turned out bad because of that evil tv and internet....” Please...if parents took responsibility this wouldn’t be an issue, but we live in an evil world with a majority that don’t take responsibity...and we’re supposed to be surprised? Just another opportunity to sound a cry of alarm for government control when parents should have been in control, like my first post about not turning into the drive thru (sp? since I don’t use them) . If we don’t support them with our money, they die. Legislation will not make people righteous and as the bible says, evil will wax worse and worse. We either take personal responsibility or not, but don’t think there will be a government or societal fix because there won’t.
My point is that saying “I control my children” and letting the world go to he!! is self defeating. We need to be involved in our communities and stop leaving it to the radical leftists to set the agenda.
