The Bottom Line Isn't Necessarily The Bottom Line

In the past 40 years we have tried everything as a people in a sincere effort to solve some major problems. These have included bigger government and the higher taxes and increased spending that support it, to more recent proposals for smaller government, lower taxes and less spending. We have tried "alternative lifestyles" and different living arrangements, two income families in order to keep up with what culture dictates are our needs, while often ignoring what we and our increasingly neglected children really need. Now, our children are exacting revenge. At the extreme they are shooting other children in school. According to Time magazine, elementary school children are now engaging in sex with no remorse and no sense that what they are doing is wrong or even bad for them. What happened to self-evident truth to which our founders appealed? What profit is it, as an ancient text inquires, if we gain great material wealth and corporate success, but lose our souls? Is it too late to recover a moral sense, or does the new century and second millennium offer a unique opportunity to begin again?

The Things That Matter Most

The 60's were more than rock and roll, campus sit-ins and assassinations. The children of that generation dropped a nuclear bomb on our culture, the fallout from which continues to infect our national psyche and our personal lives. From big government, to education, to the media the 60's continue to be re-played to a new generation by the generation that tried to "seize the time" while seeing real life slip through their fingers. The most self-indulgent generation in history grew up, but it never matured.
