Damn Pass over those Rose colored glasses!

Technology the new frontier. The first amendment granting free speech , I am not sure they had a crystal ball into the future. The internet with its ability to close the world gap , also has become the feeding ground for violence and pornography. I was writing to my own blog when I decided to take a trip around the world and view the words of others, there I was reading little bits of people’s lives that varied all ages and then I came across blogs that one might find morally offensive. What water are we treading in Free speech or abuse of the system? Its not as easy as a television set , you don’t like what you see you don’t put it on. But the internet and its poor way of cataloging has searches pulling up information that is less then pertinent to the issues at large. Should we feel threaten by a medium that gives freedom to all people regardless of their morale conduct code? Or should we take it as a lesson that where diversity appears also will the evil and good fight for the platform in which they can tempt you to side one way or another.
Take a bottle away from alcoholic and he craves the drink, take freedom away from a human being and he craves that very thing which was taken away. On the other hand the old adage give a man enough rope and he will hang himself.
The constitution itself was created as a set of rules in which we the United States govern. One that protects all people regardless of the age , race or sex. Who is responsible for world governing? Can we expect countries to view the world through our own eyes of Democracy. Can one world live under one governed state? Temptation of humanity itself will see that podium of leadership fought over in the near fight to protect the rights of the people . What will surface .. where there is power there are the traits of greed and this continues to trickle down. Our government with it checks and balances help to maintain equality for all people. There is no perfect system in the world we are human and so that allows for human error. But we do govern" by the people for the people"The first lesson I learned in grade school was to recite the preamble off by heart.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the comm on defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
I do believe in numbers good shall over come . I do see a long road a head. In being a parent and knowing that our fight for a better world is the fight to ensure that all children will have opportunities to thrive in a more ultimate surrounding of peace with conscience as our own personal guide.
It seems pretty conclusive that to monitor the internet system would be to strip us of one of most amazing steps of technology that has made its way since the telephone . Can it be perfect ed ? There is always room for improvement. Hatred and violence pornography and leeches of society will always find their platform in which to tempt our youth. That is where eductation need surface and society cannot teach the morale conduct code that lesson begins at home.
The adage " don't do as I do , do as I say " has no place in raising children as children learn from what they see. We cannot expect any system of governing to raise our children and implement a morale code of conduct that is the responsibility of each individual who chooses to bring a child into this world . Now thats where I see a step for the government , simply because of a world as busy as ours some lessons may slip under the carpet in many homes. Adopt a dog and you are inspected to see if your home is adequate ,your income is reviewed to see if your able to care for that dog and then your followed up to see if your taking care of that dog properly. But a child can be born into any home . More education is needed not just to teach youth about sex and precautions but to teach them what it means to be responsible in giving birth to a child.
People need to know that giving birth is a life long endeavor that will bring forth the next generations of leaders. There is no job in the world that can compare to parenting and yet it is the one job that is given so little respect in the society at large. I volunteered at a mission and the women who worked there also worked for a animal organization she said there is more respect and more concern for a dog then for a human being. We don't have to like mental illness, sickness and the weaker part of society but we do need to help them. I don't believe helping them means giving them a free ride or adding another soup kitchen. Then comes the old adage" a leopard never changes its spots" Maybe we can't change people , but hopefully we can educate , give opportunities and help people regain self respect and find the necessary medical care and mental care needed with out attaching stigmas.
The hope for the world is where peace flourishes and Good sits with a smile on the podium of trust and respect for all people . Damn Pass over those " Rose Colored Glasses"
