I refer you back to yesterday’s post, especially the paragraph on changing people, not banning guns.  Changing people is the only way to put law and order back into the country.

You may or may not know, but I am a big fan of Will Rogers and Mark Twain.  Since I referred to Will the past couple of days, today I point your attention to Mr. Twain.  He said, “Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail.  What you gain at one end, you lose at the other.  It’s like feeding a dog on his own tail.  It won’t fatten the dog.”

In today’s world, what he is saying, that when you take away the basics of critical education from schools, you get what you don’t want.  Schools were designed to teach reading, writing and math, but also right and wrong, a strong allegiance to country and each other, and yes, all the principles contained in the Ten Commandments.  Since we have taken out all of these from schools, maybe it’s time to put them back.

And, if you add in the most important teaching ground of all, the home, with a mother and father dedicated to instilling Judeo-Christian beliefs and practices to their children, you have the two simple solutions to the problem.  You don’t even have to be Jewish or Christian to teach simple truths that are necessary for a society to survive.

Or we can just blame guns or anything else we can think of.
