IN THE MOOD

 

My wife told me one day that you can always tell what kind of mood I am

by the way of I write.  I write funny pithy columns when I am happy or feeling a

little weird.  I write serious and informative columns when I feel reflective.  I

write humorous columns when I feel lighthearted.  I write straight forward and

no nonsense when I am concerned about morality or the state of the family.

Today I am more no nonsense.  I am concerned about the family.  I am concerned

about the fact that Canadian children have lost their moral compass.  I am deeply

concerned about what is being taught in schools and on playgrounds.  I feel that

many of our colleges and universities have become breeding grounds for leftist

anti-family, anti-home and anti-traditional values. 

            I want to ask several important questions?  First what is wrong with wanting

to teach your children morality, responsibility and truth?  What is wrong with

telling parents to stay together and work out their differences?  What is wrong

with teaching that honesty, integrity and values are important and necessary?

What is wrong with telling parents to put good boundaries and using forms of

discipline to keep children from hurting themselves and others.  When did

standing up for a traditional family consisting of a man and woman become

bigoted and outdated?  Why is it that politicians feel that power and dishonesty

is more important than integrity and honesty?  Sorry got off track.

            Now I want to state that I did not recently have someone phone me up

or chew me out because of what I wrote or believe.  I'm writing this because

our Canadian society seems to be getting more and more mixed up as time goes

on.  On one hand I see more and more younger families wanting to turn back to

more traditional values but on the other side I see a small groups of left wing

social activists working to undermine the anchor of society the home. 

            To the people who wish to once again want to have a home with balance

and stability keep reading.  To those that insist on trying every knew and crazy

idea coming down the pike, close the paper I don't want to agitate you any more.
