Paul Harvey on Littleton
How can we blame it all on
guns?
For the life of me, I can't
understand what could have gone wrong in Littleton, Colorado. If only the
parents had kept their children away from the guns, we wouldn't have had such a
tragedy. Yeah, it must have been the guns.
It couldn't have been
because of half our children being raised in broken homes.
It couldn't have been
because our children get to spend an average of 30 seconds in meaningful
conversation with their parents each day. After all, we give our children
quality time.
It couldn't have been
because we treat our children as pets and our pets as children.
It couldn't have been
because we place our children in day care centers where they learn their
socialization skills among their peers under the law of the jungle while
employees who have no vested interest in the children look on and make sure that
no blood is spilled.
It couldn't have been
because we allow our children to watch, on the average, seven hours of
television a day filled with the glorification of sex and violence that isn't
fit for adult consumption.
It couldn't have been
because we allow our children to enter into virtual worlds in which, to win the
game, one must kill as many opponents as possible in the most sadistic way
possible.
It couldn't have been
because we have sterilized and contracepted our families down to sizes so small
that the children we do have are so spoiled with material things that they come
to equate the receiving of the material with love.
It couldn't have been
because our children, who historically have been seen as a blessing from God,
are now being viewed as either a mistake created when contraception fails or
inconveniences that parents try to raise in their spare time.
It couldn't have been
because we give two-year prison sentences to teenagers who kill their newborns.
It couldn't have been
because our school systems teach the children that they are nothing but
glorified apes who have evolutionized out of some primordial soup of mud by
teaching evolution as fact and by handing out condoms as if they were candy.
It couldn't have been
because we teach our children that there are no laws of morality that transcend
us, that everything is relative and that actions don't have consequences. What
the heck, the president gets away with it.
Nah, it must have been the
guns......
