Today’s Laws vs. Core Values

By

Roger Behra

In modern world of today in America the understanding and practice of core values are being ignored and absent from daily life. And this lack of understanding and practice in America’s culture and way of life is greatly harmful. The blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the Greatest Generation and the court system in America.

What are core values? Core values are norms of behavior that include decent social customs, good and solid traditions, and practice of very good morality through religious teaching and word of mouth. These values include many modes of acceptable behavior that we must do and must not do.

At the top of the must do list are two Greatest Commandments and the Ten Commandments. They guide us in the practice of avoiding sin and living good moral lives. Ignorance (which is no excuse) of the Commandments is at the root of the most of the daily and personal problems in the world of today and especially in America. In our modern day life we have horrendous murders, abortion, divorce (1 of every 2 marriages), adultery, stealing, cheating, falsehoods, greed, corruption, ten-age sex and ten-age abortions, and foul language everywhere. Sunday church attendance has declined more and more each year. Foul language is common by children in front of their parents and other adults, and teachers.

The courts in the cities throughout America are greatly to blame. In many cities laws have replaced good common sense. Courts overrule voter’s ballot decisions and turn around existing laws. The changing of acceptable laws of human behavior and customs and moral values are, therefore, enforced by law enforcement officials. This greatly harms the culture and shows clear signs of our uncivilized society. It is the end result of liberals taking over in America. And we must keep in mind that members of the court system are also members of the Greatest Generation.

Along with court system in America the Greatest Generation has turned out to be not so great. They have failed to pass down to new generations by word of mouth and religious teaching good core values. The Greatest Generation ignored wholesome traditions. As a result new generations are ignorant of the benefits of good core values that grandmother and grandfather practiced as a normal and daily way of life. It is a shame on them, and the lasting effect cannot be changed for the better. Unfortunately, the Greatest Generation is the victim of their great failure as well. Their children and 06/01/09neration not failed in their responsibilities, their legacy would be one never to be equaled now or in any future.
