It would seem that our "leadership" lacks the actual ability and(character) to do just that.  For the record, I mean we the parents of these children, NOT our president, governor, senator or city council.  We continue to  lap up the nonsense that is placed before us with ravenous delight and then(and only then) step back, slap our forehead in disgust to announce that this isn't right!

Clearly this is yet (another) very well thought out method of distracting our society and focusing upon the symptom rather that the problem.  We are the problem. Have all the parents abdicated their sacred role as sole provider, primary educator and parent(not friend, buddy, room mate or pal)?

The metaphoric ship which needs to be turned about rings hollow, it is turning-in circles, because the compass was jettisoned. Generations have now fed at this trough of bile which is filled by self serving individuals and the resulting behavior(s) speak volumes.

As a society, a nation(under God) and human beings, we must stop passing the responsibility to the right and left and grasp it ourselves.  Only then will parents reappear and children retain the innocence that has been ripped from them prematurely  by a world that clearly does not care.   Need facts and proof?
