What has happened in this world? Just on the news, a 14 year old girl, dragged in to the woods, at a public park, by three boys her age, and forced to perform sex acts, which we probably know, and they they posted the video on the internet. Why, did they feel free to do this? Was it TV, the internet, school, where and when and why did this happen.
Are these three boys going to be running this country in ten or fifteen years? Are they the parents of the future, responsible for bringing up their children, teaching them, values?
I think the worst from my childhood may have been Tijuana Bibles. I stole a cigarette, a Lucky Strike, from my Dad's pack, and one morning on my way to school, as a "traffic guard" I had to be there early, and it was still dark, and I smoked it on my way to school, I was probably 9 or 10. I remember that feeling of euphoria, I was grown up, smoking, and no one saw me. My Dad was a doctor, so we had many medical books in the house. I used to sneak peeks in those, evil stuff. My Senior year, on a college visit to Indiana, we went to the Star theater in Indianapolis and saw a burlesque show. Never ventured in to the Mayfair in Dayton, too close to home, someone might see me going in.
Maybe I or we, were just backward and naive. I will freely admit, my "first" .... Tijuana, a woman twice my age, "Primaro Tiempo," she kept saying, or something to that effect. I know she informed everyone in the "house" about that fact. I was congratulated and patted on the back by quite a few ..... "girls" .... that night, many of whom were twice my age, and then some. I was "euphoric" or some such word for a few days, intermixed with some fear, didn't use condoms much in those days. The only ones I had seen were used to protect a finger from infection, that my Dad had put on a patients finger.
Those were the days that you went in to a drug store and announced, "GIVE ME A PACK OF LUCKIES, and where are your condoms?" Now it is the reverse.
We are seeing and hearing of way too many incidents such as this. Let's be honest, YouTube, Facebook and other such media are the cause. You can reach millions in minutes, God has been taken out of their schools and lives, thanks to television, promiscuity is rampant, so "they" don't know any better. It confronts them every day, so they know no better.
