People with a certain mind set can’t change their way of thinking so it’s useless to try and reason with them. That said I believe that we don’t need little house on the prairie (although I liked the show) to teach our children how to become moral caring individuals who know right from wrong. We need parents to be present in their children’s lives all the time.

They have the spin doctors and the psychologists, and they know how to manipulate the people into thinking as they want. Wy do they do this? Because misery makes money. You don't spend money if you are happy with your life and in yourself. I have no idea how to change that. The information is out there for people who go looking. Not enough people look. Here at home, we try to make sure we stay away from electronics for part of every day and at night. We make music and do art and sit quietly and enjoy nature and our animals and the wild creatures around us, and yes those are my fave times of every day. I'm working to bring even more 'space' into my life and to write this sort of life into my books for others to find. Do I think Satan is currently winning? (My conception of Satan which may not be yours, Lorie.) Sure, he's winning at the moment, but the balance of good will always swing back, and the more good people we have working to bring back consciousness of all the best of life, the sooner it will do so. xxx Tina form western australia here, by the way.

The schools really have their hands tied by some of our laws and some kids who should be removed from schools appear to be overly protected. Many parents look for quick fixes— medication, labels, electronic babysitters. I don’t know what the answer is. Of course, the top 1% of our country who made these laws don’t send their kids to public schools.

However, I will say I think our nations problems are multifaceted, and stem from fundamentals. Interestingly, Brad & I recently attended a wonderful concert (Natalie MacMasters & Donnell Leahy). I admired the families ability to "buck the system" and raise their 6 children (7th on the way) the way they were raised. As a family, on their Canadian farm, with their heritage and music. It is admirable, and was refreshing.aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.com
