Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it: his bottle, his mother's attention, his playmate's toys, his uncle's watch, or whatever. Deny him these and he seethes with rage and aggressiveness which would be murderous were he not so helpless. He's dirty, he has no morals, no knowledge, no developed skills. This means that all children, not just certain children but all children, are born delinquent. If permitted to continue in their self-centered world of infancy, given free reign to their impulsive actions to satisfy each want, every child would grow up a criminal, a thief, a killer, a rapist.
Its...just...SO PAINFUL...to watch...please tell me she didn't win!
ReplyDeleteThe US flags were lowered in Danville this weekend. I couldn't remember reading of any officials that had died (but knew that a local soldier had been killed) so I asked a drive up person (at Burger Chef) why their flag as the half way mark. Her response was that maybe her work place only "halfway liked America".
It was all I could do not to ask her where she went to school and who her Civics teacher was (not to blame the teacher but to let the teacher). In the end, I asked the manager and it was for the local soldier.
All that to say - it isn't just SC! :)
Okay - so I reread my comment and realize that I needed to say "was at" instead of "as" the halfway mark. Then I went on to mistype "let the teacher..." I meant to say, let the teacher know!"
ReplyDeleteImportant lesson learned here - when trying to be critical - it is always best to reread one's comments so as to not look stupid oneself!
Thank you Lord for humility! :P
Well... I was going to be calling you to see if I could get some History teaching advice, but... well... Now I am not so sure.
