consequence

 It is a recurring theme of mine in these postings. I often write about consequences. I do that because I believe it is something that is being lost on so many people these days. There are consequences for our choices. It is my belief that this lack of consequence is a major contributor to what we see going on in the world and in our country. The removal of consequence in the name of " empathy and understanding " has indeed spoiled the child. It really is just as written.
 Consider the latest headlines about the Parkland shooter. There is absolutely no doubt that he is guilty ! Absolutely no doubt, and yet we will hold a trial and debate his fate for many months to come. The big question is already being debated, death or life in prison ? We must consider his mental state. His mental state killed 17 and wounded how many ? The consequences of such action should be very clear, without doubt, and immediate. Yes, I'm calling for the death sentence. Will that stop the next person ? No, and it isn't intended to. The sole intent is to show the consequences for taking such an action. The seed of consequence must be planted early in the mind. It is that seed that grows into deterrence. Laws are not intended to be a deterrent but provide a consequence.
 I don't have much more to say. I'm thinking we need to start teaching our children to Pray not Protest ! The Women's' march organizers are getting involved in a protest holding signs about saving the lives of our children. Remember these are the same people that were holding those signs saying " my body, my choice " and abortion is a right ! Guess those children don't count ! What we have is a people problem, not a gun problem. What we have is an accountability problem. We are drugging our children from the age of four to make them " behave " in a fashion that is easy for us to handle. The mental health professionals just passing out Adderall and Ritalin like candy. The consequences of that is what is driving this narrative of " mental health. " The mental health problems are being caused by mental health professionals ! We are creating a society of dependence ! And when you have a society of dependence and the people don't get what they want, what happens ? Things like this nut job shooting up the schoolhouse is what happens. It isn't a gun problem ! It is a people problem. It is a moral and ethical problem.
 But before it is all over, some legislation will be written , passed and a great victory will have been won. Those on the left proclaiming it is landmark legislation and how this will solve everything. Then when the mass shooters continue they will make excuses like we didn't go far enough. For the left, far enough won't happen until all guns have been removed. The left won't be satisfied until the government legislates every aspect of our lives. One day the left will look in the mirror and only see what has been lost, and no way to regain it. Another favorite saying of mine is, you can't legislate morality ! It is morality alone that prevents one man from killing another. No law will do that, no absence of any weapon. Cain killed Abel with a rock !
 It may make you feel better to say, we outlawed assault rifles. What you would really be saying is we outlawed a "name " that was made up by the anti-gun lobby. You may feel better saying, we instituted gun control. The reality is, people control the gun ! The gun will not get up and assault the school without a person controlling it ! It is really not that difficult to understand. And part of controlling the people is to drug them into submission. You can see plainly how that is working out. Controlling the people requires their dependence. If anyone doesn't believe an air of dependence upon the government is being fostered in this nation right now I submit they are crazy ! What's the answer to everything ? We need to pass a law is the most common response. Isn't that the response we are hearing right this very minute ? A madman took a gun and killed 17 children and wounded many more. What is the response ? An absolutely positively beyond a shadow of a doubt killer is being debated. Should he live or die ? The discussion is about his mental state. The blame is being placed on the gun ! It was an " assault " by a gun that killed those students. No, it was an assault by a madman ! The response, we need to write a law ! Well let's just write a law that it is illegal to be a madman ! The result will be about the same.
 So what are we to do ? That is the big question here. There isn't much you can do in the short term. I sure wish I had an answer, a solution to all of this. How do you prevent people from killing one another ? When you find the answer to that, the problem will be solved. A beginning for me would be to quit teaching our children it is a viable choice to kill the unborn. Teaching our children that murder is an acceptable form of birth control, mistake control, or just because I don't want that responsibilty control, certainly changes the value of human life. I really don't see how you can not acknowledge that much, even if you agree with that process. Or are we trying to teach it is alright to kill sometimes, as long as it is only one at a time.
