From the Editor's Desk...

Happy Mothers Day.... to all you mothers!  <g>  Its a wonderful time of the year...  Honoring our mothers.  Nothing but fond memories..

Tornados, Floods and computer virus abound... but what is there still a steady diet of?  Ken Starr!  This klutz is still trying, albeit quite indirectly, to "get" Clinton.  Folks if this is not an obsession then please... someone out there tell me what it is.  Starr, Fowler, Hyde and Hatch... they all should go home.  Only fanatics would justify the actions these "public servants & officials" exhibit.  They're true politicians all the way.  Plastic Veneer illustrating whatever is expected at the moment with innermost goals never forgotten.  Starr wants Clinton's head.  Fowler wants to forget Term Limitations so she can bathe in her lofty ambitions. Hyde loves notoriety.  Hatch is still pursuing his goal of becoming a political legend . What a bunch of phonies.  They should be doing things that are truly in the public interest. NOT theirs!

We wonder why some of today's young people are exhibiting strange behavioral patterns?  All we need do is begin to realize they are but a reflection of us!  The hot and heavy materialistic chase is one area of all our lives that needs immediate addressing.  When our children see their families either suffering from not having enough money or rabidly chasing bucks to show just how much MORE they can garner than their neighbors... we can little expect the children to come away with any sort of real moral character with a love of God and parents.

Children are the most cynical (everything is cut and dried) of all human beings, they are also the most honest in their opinions and the most sincere in their loyalties.  Why? Because many have yet to form the horrid two-faced attitudes most adults have perfected in their later years.  In the same vein, children are more apt to be profoundly impressed with circumstances they experience, observe or read about.  The cynicism comes from the observances of the adults most favorite form of two-faced actions.  The action of "Don't do what I do do what I say".  That expression should be called the "Hypocrite's Credo".

Another situation that deeply affects our youngsters (especially teens) is watching their parents carry tales (some false) behind their friend's backs.  This is perhaps one of the most wicked of acts an adult can perpetrate upon others.  First, It usually causes severe hurt to the victim in any number of ways most tales are untrue or greatly exaggerated. Second, it conveys an indirect message to the youngster of; Ah... its ok as long as you don't get caught.  Third, it demonstrates to the youngster just how vicious and deceitful adults really are.  Obviously, when the youngsters do see these things going on and on, they soon develop an attitude of  tolerance if not acceptance. Thus begins the total deterioration of the youngster's moral fiber and basic character of honesty.

I don't think I'm wrong, I could be... what do think?  Let's hear from you!
