I don't think that the answer is going to church or deliberately trying to teach the sanctity of life. I believe that we humans learn to value life (or not) very early in our lives. We learn that life has value when WE are shown that OUR life has value by caring and loving parents. If we as parents neglect to show our children that they are valuable and that they are loved, no amount of church or instruction is going to stop this trend. All of this is, of course, MVHO.

Its costing me more to send my young ones to private school then it cost to send my big one to College..<g> I can not bring myself to send my daughters to Public school ..I would rather do without something.. I think the solution is to start holding parents responsible both civily and criminally for the actions of their minor(under 21) children.. I also believe when that when we hear that this one shot up the world because he was abused or had a rotten childhood(not monetarily) that regardless of the age the parents should be held accountable. How many times do we her the plea for mercy or reduced sentences because the offender had a bad childhood?? Well if that childhood was bad because the parent was too busy or too drunk or too drugged or too mean to take care of the child..then the responsibility that the parent avoided during childhood should now go to the parent during adulthood.. You bring children into the world you are responsible for them..and their actions.. Sorry I got wound up on this but I have custody of my 11 year old daughter because her mother preferred drinking to rearing her..Came home one night and she was passed ouit drunk and my 2 year old daughter was being neglected.. And all I heard in court was that she was entitled to another shot because she had a bad childhood.. Bullshit that's what I say.. The way we eliminate this kind of crap is by holding parents responsible..
