Well said.
What you have stated should be blatantly obvious for anyone with half an idea.Trouble is,when I read it I shook my head and wondered why I hadn't ever considered it!
With all that in mind,I wouldn't even know where to begin! Oh joy.
Not because you are dumb.
Only because you are not as old as I am.
I can still see Granma and Grandpa’s stern eye.
I remember going to church when it was 99 outside, no air conditioning, no electric fans, just those cardboard fans with the stick handle.
You still wore a coat and a tie, even when you were as little as I was.
They took it seriously.
We had our 50 year high school reunion 11 years ago and I still am highly impressed at how deeply religious my classmates are to this day. Probably because I was the only rogue in the class. It made me realize every one of them was a better person than I, regardless of where we rated in terms of income, property, etc.
That was a different day. There still are a lot of really good people in this country but there are also a huge number that do not have the values of those who lived in those days and I really believe that when they get hungry enough or cold and wet enough that they will behave like savages.
No Dad or Mom, Granddad or Grandmother to say “That is immoral and no boy of mine is going to do that.”
