text: Mark, How do you know what worked in the 1800's?  Don't believe everything you watch on TV (westerns) or read on the internet.  I can find different statistics on the subject on the internet to support what I want to believe.  I don't believe everything I was taught in school.  Also, we didn't even have a clue what was happening from shore to shore.  The media was not that quick as they are today.  I'm not sure too that statistics were that reliable in those days. 
  
  People are so quick to say we need to fix the morality problem but rarely do they provide any plan on how to fix it.  You want to keep your guns?  Then shoot out your mouth with a plan to fix the world!  
  
  Do you have children?  If you do, how are you raising them to make sure they stay out of trouble?  Are you the best possible parent you can be?  Would you bet your life that your kids will grow up to be responsible adults?
