This commentary is from Paul Harvey.

*”For the life of me, I can’t understand what could have gone
wrong in Littleton, Colo. If only the parents had kept their children
away
from the guns, we wouldn’t have had such a tragedy. Yeah, it must
have
been the guns.

*It couldn’t have been because of half our children being
raised in broken homes. It couldn’t have been because our children get
to
spend an average of 30 seconds in meaningful conversation with their
parents
each day.

*After all, we give our children quality time.

*It couldn’t have been because we treat our children as pets
and our pets as children.

*It couldn’t have been because we place our children in day
care centers where they learn their socialization skills among their
peers
under the law of the jungle, while employees who have no vested
interest in
the children look on and make sure that no blood is spilled.

*It couldn’t have been because we allow our children to
watch, on average, seven hours of television a day, filled with the
glorification of sex and violence that isn’t fit for adult consumption.

*It couldn’t have been because we allow our children to enter
into virtual worlds in which, to win the game, one must kill as many
opponents as possible in the most sadistic way possible.

*It couldn’t have been because we have sterilized and
contracepted our families down to sizes so small that the children we
do
have are so spoiled with material things that they come to equate the
receiving of the material with love.

*It couldn’t have been because our children, who historically
have been seen as a blessing from God, are now being viewed as either a
mistake created when contraception fails or inconveniences that parents
try
to raise in their spare time.

*It couldn’t have been because we give two-year prison
sentences to teen-agers who kill their newborns.

*It couldn’t have been because our school systems teach the
children that they are nothing but glorified apes who have
evolutionized out
of some primordial soup of mud by teaching evolution as fact and by
handing
out condoms as if they were candy.

*It couldn’t have been because we teach our children that
there are no laws of morality that transcend us, that everything is
relative
and that actions don’t have consequences. What the heck, the president
gets
away with it.

*Nah, it must have been the guns.
