tipping over the point

I am a fraid of where we are headed.
People learn politics from cartoons and mtv.
People care more about celebrities than they care about our soldiers over seas.
Nothing is sacred anymore on television, programs can swear and talk about sex with no reservations.
People give more money to organizations to feed animals than they do to feed hungry people.
People have forgotten where our food comes from and how we get it.
There are laws written every year to protect us from ourselves.
There are three kinds of murder instead of just murder.
The government can tell a building owner that no one is allowed to smoke in their building.
Lawyers can sue with no fear of losing, because in the U.S. the loser doesn't have to pay like they would in most other countries.
Most people think they deserve a job.
Most people think they also deserve a car and a house.
You can be sued for defending yourself.
Kids are taught to not fight back, because they must have done something to provoke an attack in the first place.
We are a society of victims.

I think we may be over the tipping point. This is not what America is supposed to be. We are ruled by the media and materialism.
Complaining has never solved any problems. I am trying to do something about it. If you want to do something about it, get involved in the lives of young men and women. Set a good example and be a mentor. Teach values and real life skills. Teach a kid to catch a fish and eat it. Teach a kid to work hard for something that they want. Teach a kid the importance of helping others and conecting in a personal way. Otherwise go back to watching Charlie Sheen.
