RANDOM RANTS ON HOW SCARY THE WORLD IS... again.

HOLY SMOKES! What is wrong with the World?! You’d think by now, things like this wouldn’t surprise me, but it does! I just watched the news about third graders plotting to stab and possibly kill their teacher. That just blows my mind… THIRD GRADERS! What made me the most mad, is that they interviewed a doctor about the incident, and he put all the blame on movies and video games, and didn’t mention a thing about these kids’ parents. It’s hard for me to believe that these kids come from loving homes.

Another thing, Barry was standing in line at Hastings a while ago, and this woman was standing in front of him with a boy that couldn’t be any older than six. He pointed at an advertisement of Saw II or III of IV (whichever one they are on now), and the kid said, “Grandma, remember when we saw that? It was scary.” Doesn’t that make you just so angry? Who in their right mind would subject an innocent child to such trash!?!? Some people should have their children taken away from them.

Last night, at mutual the topic of drugs came up, and these young girls, just middle school aged, were talking about Crystal Meth. I never even heard that word in middle school besides in D.A.R.E., but they know who the drug dealers are, and who’s doing what. I was so proud though, because one of the leaders asked if any of them had been offered drugs, and they all chimed in a big “No”. One the girls said, “they stay away from the Mormons. I’ve been told you can tell who the Mormons are just by looking at them, and they know not to even try.” Doesn’t that give you just a glimmer of hope for our children’s futures? We truly are a peculiar people… THANK GOODNESS!
