OT

AMEN! to your post "but it was the abolition of prayer in schools that directly corresponds to the increase of crime in America."

and Tradelites post # 21238 in which he commented on "fewer people wanting to take personal responsibility for their own actions..."

Several years ago I read and cut out the following comments made by Don Wildmon President of American Family Association. (www.afa.net.)

"The real problem eating away at the very foundation of our society is the lack of individual responsibility. The human tendency to avoid individual responsibility has always been there; but today rejecting individual responsibility has become a way of life in America. It is a direct result of rejecting God's sovereignty over our lives. When God's rules are followed, individuals are held accountable for their actions, and it doesn't matter that they were born poor or that their mothers didn't love them enough...."

Today many people are afraid to publicly make a statement like that, (about the abolition of prayer) thanks for being a real man. After reading this thread for several months, I believe you fall into this category. This is my tribute to you. (I also cut this out after reading it)

the world needs men

...who cannot be bought.
...whose word is their bond.
...who put character above wealth.
...who possess opinions and a will.
...who are larger than their vocations.
...who do not hesitate to take chances.
...who will not lose their individuality in a crowd.
...who will be as honest in small things as in great things.
...who will make no compromise with wrong.
...whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires.
...who will not say they will do it "because everybody else does it."
...who are true to their friends through good report and evil report, in adversity as well as in prosperity.
...who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning and hard-headedness are the best qualities for winning success.
...who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular.
...who can say "no" with emphasis, although all the rest of the world says "yes".

Regards, Cindy
