“This country is in moral decline. I just wish we would return to our Christian values and turn back to God.” The statement is still valid. It is valid because things aren't any better than they were in yesteryear, just different. Moral values, Christian or not, are on life support. Parenting is, for the most part, a forgotten talent our parents forgot to pass on, probably because divorce is more popular than marriage and children are left to be educated by the government. Hell, public education was a joke when I was in school during the 60's; it hasn't gotten any better, and the national education programs again rely on quotas instead of quality. If the kids can't pass the curriculum, make the tests easier. We need to ensure no child gets left behind, right? Is it any wonder the death from surgery at hospitals is the leading cause of death in the country? Parenting, eating dinner around the table as a family, family outings, assisting with homework, monitoring bedtimes and television, and striving to be the best you can be are all values that have gone away and we, as a country, are poorer for it.
