Enough already from sordid trial

Enough already. I am sick and tired of our community “family”

newspaper running a daily report of the Haidl sex scandal.

There must be more going on in our town about the good things our

kids are doing rather than repeating every sordid detail about these

kids and their poor choices. But then who is surprised at such

disgusting behavior anymore? You can hardly go to a movie or rent a

video that isn’t rated “R”. The music the kids listen to is raunchy

and laced with sexual innuendo. Teen magazines are filled with

pictures of sexy girls and stories of sexual exploits written without

mentioning responsibility or consequences of pregnancy or STD’S.

And we know that in our public school science classes the kids

learn they are direct descendants from apes -- who evolved from

primordial ooze -- so why shouldn’t they act like animals? What’s to

stop them? There is no grand plan or moral authority after all. No

God. No right and wrong. If it feels good, do it.

Heaven help us.
