Excerpt from "SAVE OUR CHILDREN" "......If you look back over the benefits of our lives, when children are allowed to GROW up and become adults, they contribute. Where would be be today, if the WRIGHT BROTHERS were killed, like so many children are being killed today, and by their own parents? If George Washington Carver, or Albert Einstein were abused and tampered with, to diminish their spirits. Look at the wonderful results you get with HEALTHY ATMOSPHEREs and positive ENVIRONMENTs. These are the most important seeds, that need to grow, the seeds of human life. Even if there isn't a devil, the killing of our children, and the non-reaction of doing really nothing about it, is AGAINST the survival of man. Many times, people will say it's for the benefit of the child, when in reality it was their salary, or the perks they received for being involved. You can't blame your children for something their other parent did. You can't blame your children for the loss of your job, or things that happen to you. Yes, if you didn't have children you can DO OTHER THINGS, but the child is the result of YOUR MISTAKE, not theirs...... We need two classes in our schools that I feel are very important. One of them is The Responsibility Of Caring For And Raising Children, and Death - How To Deal With It. PREVENTION, has always been a key word to me. I have not always been able to do this, but when you look ahead, as oppose to waiting until something happens, and then reacting, that's how a lot of companies make their money, on your failure to prepare. The slogan has been, when the question was presented...Why aren't you trying to do something? Why can't you get ready for the rest of your life?...The answer was always...Yeah, but what if I die?....my answer to that statement has always been....YEAH...but--What If You Live?..... The class for bringing up children, would be an eye-opener. Sometimes you can live something, and really not see the benefit, but when it's brought to your attention, you may have a clearer understanding. In the class of bringing up children, you will show what kind of responsibility it is, and how hard it is, and what you go through. Being a single father, I can tell for many of the women who do this and are taken for granted... the prevention of that course would probably detour a lot of children from making that mistake. Here's a question I want to ask you. You hate the fact that a lot of girls want to have babies, something of 'their own'. Something that will love them and need them, so why do you give girls dolls? What is the purpose of carrying a little statue around, that talks and wets and walks and cries and eats? Isn't this a subconscious preparation for motherhood? Yet there is no WORK-DOLL or WORK-ATMOSPHERE you can hand out the little boys to prepare them subconsciously for getting a job and keeping it. We the adults create the atmosphere, and then when it fails, we ask....what happened?? Are we so hung up with ourselves that we can't see what's really happening?
