Too many babies
Too many people are having babies without any thought as to how they will rear them. A child is like a garden. You plant the seed and then tend it carefully, or else weeds will take over and choke out the good produce. Too many young people with a poor education and no prospect of jobs is a recipe for trouble. Young people with no foundation in Christian morals are a huge part of the problem. In order to quell the violence, we must go to the root of the problem. A society dependent upon the “government” for sustenance is a society that is enslaved to that government for its very existence. LBJ’s “Great Society” and other laws aimed at helping poor blacks and whites have been “gamed” to where they are now counter-productive and are causing worse problems than they were intended to relieve.
