Third Quarter 2000

In the last few years we have seen a new and frightening phenomena come across our TV screens. Young kids, mostly boys, walking into their schools and opening fire into crowds of schoolmates and teachers. The airwaves have been filled with “experts” claiming the cause is everything from too many guns available to arcade games to violence on TV.

While all of these things are part of the problem, the real reason is seldom mentioned. The real reason would shakeup too many powerful groups with billions of dollars at their disposal. So who are these groups and how are they able to keep themselves in power?

To begin with, lets look at what has changed in the last few decades that may have created a new type of “soulless” individual. In the last fifty years a new form of education has crept into our schools under the guise of science. These “modern” methods have changed our schools from places of learning to mental health clinics.

The “new” thinking says that there is no right and wrong— there are only opinions. You can see this in the self-esteem movements across the country. “We can’t mark the student wrong. It’ll hurt his self-esteem.” Anyone with even a little gray matter left can see the idiocy in that statement. Real self-esteem comes from competence. There is no self-esteem in being illiterate. Yet teachers and parents have been fooled into thinking this is good for the student’s mental health. The results of the “no right and wrong” theory? Illiteracy skyrocketed— Morals took a nose dive.

Changing the moral structure of society would have been enough to cause major havoc. But there was one other thing that put the last nail in the coffin. Psychiatric drugs!
