Israelis versus Palestinians.\u00a0 And, in spite of all that has happened over the pas 50 years, there is still white against black. Not to mention Mizzou zealots hating on Kansas fans.<\/p>\n<p>Why is our ship of state springing leaks?\u00a0 One could argue that there has always been division in history.\u00a0 Heck, back in the Garden of Eden, Cain knocked off his brother Abel.\u00a0 The Egyptians showed little use for the Hebrews, although they loved to use them as their slaves.<\/p>\n<p>Muslims and Christians fought over who ran the Holy Land in\u00a0what came to be known as The Crusades.\u00a0 And good old Martin\u00a0Luther hammered up his problems with the Catholic Church back in 1517, starting probably the largest religious division the world has ever known.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s a function of today\u2019s 24-hour news coverage where everything happening gets reported, but doesn\u2019t it seem like things are getting crazier?\u00a0 To paraphrase Rodney King, we can\u2019t seem to \u201cjust get along.\u201d\u00a0 These are the days I really wonder what is to become of our culture.<\/p>\n<p>You know, them Romans lost their edge as world leaders when they let down their moral guard.\u00a0\u00a0 They were so weakened by years of corruption from within that they were easy pickins\u2019 for the invading mercenaries from the north of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>I believe we are doing the same.\u00a0 It seems we have lost our moral center.\u00a0\u00a0 Since 1973, we have legally eliminated over 55 million of our future populace through abortion. Could this be one reason why our Social Security system is struggling?<\/p>\n<p>Or some basic minimum wage jobs are going unfilled?\u00a0 Or why our number of national births to deaths is going down each year?\u00a0 Most of Europe and especially Greece have gone below their replacement rate, and they are in very bad straits financially, not to mention spiritually.<\/p>\n<p>We have allowed the misuse of the First Amendment right of free speech to give protection to pornographers and producers of mega-violent video games within which our youth are engrossed for countless hours.\u00a0 We are suffering from a veritable epidemic of childhood depression, teen suicides, and drug-related deaths of our most vibrant youth.<\/p>\n<p>Parents are killing their kids and then taking their own lives.\u00a0 Nearly every month, there is news of someone shooting up a school or randomly firing into a crowd; nearly every day a crime where someone is killed and many times, it is a youthful someone. Yet praying in schools has long been declared illegal.<\/p>\n<p>Use the words moral malaise, if you will.\u00a0 Say lack of real leadership, if you must.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t see much of the latter going on.\u00a0 Politicians caught in sex and cheating scandals.\u00a0 Popular figures dying of drug overdoses or constantly in trouble with the law.\u00a0 Men, and women, working closely with youth, still taking sexual advantage of them.\u00a0\u00a0 A football coach paying bonuses for deliberately maiming an opponent.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot out there in the media pointing to a culmination of all this mess.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We hear of \u201cend time\u201d prophecies, the predictions of Nostradamus, the Mayan Calendar theories.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if any of this is really going to happen.\u00a0 But I do know that we the people are in a period of great unrest.\u00a0 It makes one wonder\u2026 Is there any hope out there?<\/p>\n<p>Well, sports fans, I have to say, yes.\u00a0 In my various wanderings as a substitute teacher, I have seen the future.\u00a0\u00a0 Kids who were less-than-stellar middle school citizens are going to graduate high school.\u00a0 They have girl friends who are keeping them on the right track.\u00a0 They are planning on advanced education.\u00a0 Young men and women of all races walk the halls together, share team victories and defeats, learning to \u201cjust get along.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I see kids working hard in college, active in church youth groups, volunteering during disasters, joining the military.\u00a0 One of my tutoring kids is starting to worry about getting his GED and staying out of trouble so he can get a decent job.\u00a0 Go get a burger somewhere and who do you see working there\u2026 young people who are discovering the value of work.<\/p>\n<p>They are seeing the light, in spite of what\u2019s going on around them.\u00a0 They want to do better by the world than have their parents.\u00a0 They want the country to grow and prosper and get back to being the best in the world again.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the question really is, will we who are currently at the helm be able to keep this ship of state afloat long enough for them to take over and right it\u2019s course?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tom Anselm Some days I fear this old world will just split down the middle.\u00a0 There are so many divisions.\u00a0 Red states, blue states.
