A dose of reality which everyone should read. Hats off to this Columnist: Dave Smith

The word insane comes to mind when thinking of the situation in Florida with little Somer Renee Thompson, the other similar cases around the nation and the thousands of very similar cases which will come.
Anyone who has lived in these United States for the last 40 years has seen CHANGE sweep over this nation in such a huge way that our country is not even recognizable from what it once was.
There is a saying which goes something like this, "With freedom comes much responsibility". Americans have fall end down on the JOB in the responsibility area of maintaining sanity in our country.
To reflect upon our current situation. Our government is full of corrupt people. Our Judicial system is full of corrupt people. Our city officials in countless cities across the nation are being caught in corruption. There is sexual scandal in the churches, in the political offices, the courts, the police offices, in social services offices and in day care centers.
Our media pushes every kind of sexual immorality into the minds of not only our adults but also our children. One could even see advertisements on television using a sexually provocative man or woman to sell broccoli.
Sex and violence sells and that is what the media supplies. Supply and demand has always been the way of business in these united states. Due to the steady supply of sexually explicit material being broadcast and distributed on a daily basis for decades, we now are reaping what we have sown.
That media containing sex and violence coupled with sex offender laws which even Congressmen have admitted, "Once you are on the registry, your life is basically over", creates a scenario where people will kill their victims just to ensure they do not have a witness which can get them sentenced to a lifetime of registration on the sex offender registry.
Upon hearing the news of the little girl in Florida, killed and thrown into a trash bin. I can only think of one thing. Why on earth would anyone let a 7-yea-old girl walk a mile to or from school?
As a parent of two teenagers and a 2 year old, I would never allow my children to walk a mile to or from school. Not in these times we live in.
Just 30 years ago, you could go out into any neighborhood and see children everywhere, riding bikes, skateboarding, playin and having fun. Typically, and without fear, children would leave the home in the morning, say bye to mother and tell her they were riding their bikes to town....
Not today. You can walk or drive around any neighborhood today and you will not see very many children running around riding bicycles, skating or playing. They are all inside, watching television, playing Xbox 360s, play stations or Wiis.
There have been studies conducted on the effects of watching sex and violence on television day after day and the results are shocking and alarming to say the least. But you do not have to look to studies to see the results.
The largest industry in America is now the combined legislature, courts, police, sheriff and prison systems and all that those businesses support. Tied to these are countless businesses. Psychiatrists, psychologists who the court orders felons to pay to go see. Grocers and suppliers, contractors, lawyers and the list is too great for this article.
It would seem that everything it takes to completely and utterly destroy this nation from the roots up,(family), is being done on purpose.
Heaven forbid I should mention Jesus Christ and the fact that it is almost a swear word now to say, "God" in any government office or public school... that one sentence will probably ban this article from even being published.
No, the problem facing little girls like Somer is not all those sex offenders living in her vicinity. The problem is that this nation has sat by and watched and even participated in the destruction of any semblance of morality, decency, and restraint involving sex and violence for decades.
Saying we need to get TOUGH ON SEX OFFENDERS to cure the sickness which America suffers from is like telling a cancer patient to take this aspirin and a glass of water each day and all will be well.
To get to the heart of the matter, this nation needs to wake up and realize our minds have been infected with immorality.
Insane is it to think you can pump sex and violence into the minds of children and adults alike for decades. Twenty for hours a day, 7 days a week, day after day, year after year and then expect them to NOT act out on it.
You break down the family unit from a father, mother and children to one parent always working, the child home watching TV or being entertained by the pervert next door and what do you get.. just what we have now. Murder, rape and sex crimes on the rise.
But you know what. That will not happen. Everyone is so use to getting their daily fix of sex and violence from the media. Why do you think anyone is even reading about little Somer? It involves sex and violence. There you have it.
I feel great compassion for the family, friends and neighbors of this little girl.. but I tell you as sure as I am sitting here writing this... this country has not even come close to seeing what is to come. This practice will become more wide spread as our media takes us further into sexual depravity. ..Source.. by Dave Smith an independent columnist
