WHY WE CAN'T MAKE ENDS MEET" BOOK EXCERPTS
Of all the threats facing this country, the biggest in my view is the breakdown of
the nuclear family structure. In my view it is a bigger threat than the national
debt, the national deficit, the crime problem, the drug problem, and all others.
The reason is the family structure is the base that all civilization is built upon.
There is no country in the world that has let its nuclear family structure
deteriorate to the point that has taken place in this country.
Look at Russia and Eastern Europe. They are flat broke, and for the most part
already back to bartering, but they probably won't lose a couple hundred thousand
in riots because of the stability of their nuclear family and extended family
structure. No one expects this great free country to become flat broke. But with
the speed we are headed into socialism, it certainly is not impossibility.
If this country did go flat broke with the conditions in our inner cities and the
decline of our moral and family values, there is no telling how many lives may be
lost. It would take permanent martial law to regain control. Right now under
normal conditions the prisons are already overfilled, so it is obvious if mass riots
broke out in several of our major cities and the economy was bankrupted, some
kind of camps would have to be used.
Social spending is what's destroying our family structure, but it doesn't have to.
Social spending in Western Europe doesn't destroy their family structure. It is the
way the social programs are administered in this country. Instead of keeping
families together, the social programs in this country drive families apart. The
rule is that no man can live with his family if it receives aid. That rule drives
minority men away in droves.
Some men say that it does not matter whether a family has one parent or two, but
it does matter. The male has performed the disciplinarian role all throughout
history. With no real disciplinarian in the family, the first thing that is lost is a
lack of respect for authority. It may not seem like much and many people don't
think it matters, but it all starts with a respect for authority.
Without a respect for authority, pretty soon there won't be any respect for
anything. That means there won't be any respect for the law, the house of the
Lord, private property, or anything. Also, a disciplinarian is needed to instill self
restraint in our young, especially in our young men.
We all get mad, irate and such, but if self restraint has been instilled by a
disciplinarian, one is not going to strike out without thinking of the consequences.
We have people out of control committing murder without really thinking because
they have never been conditioned to show restraint. Don't be misled by phony
excuses, one can condition himself to show restraint quickly if he knows
punishment will be swift and severe.
Just look at what happens when a professional athlete receives a heavy fine for
an infraction. No matter the outcry, you won't see very many repeats. Those that
are raised with two parents in the home also tend to have a stronger conscience
and survival instinct. That is because a disciplinarian not only instills self
restraint, but represents a physical power and force greater than the child,
thereby sharpening the child's awareness of danger.
Shy people have very strong consciences and survival instincts because of their
fear of disapproval and danger. They will almost never be anything outside of the
traditional norm, homosexual or otherwise. "Spare the rod, spoil the child" is as
true today as it was 2000 years ago. A strong conscience can be instilled only by
giving some form of punishment for wrong or inappropriate behavior. Some
physical pain will instill the strongest conscience.
No conscience equals no guilt, no shame. Once a conscience is instilled it will
cause one to be govern by guilt and shame. also, it will cause one to experience a
feeling of dread or doom when contemplating doing wrong for the rest of his life.
A strong survival instinct protects not only one's present mental and physical
survival but includes protecting unborn future generations as well.
It includes all threats to survival. The lottery may not be a moral thing, but I
instinctively know it is a threat to survival in some way. Look at history. There
has never been a society throughout all of history that has condoned mass
gambling and survived. It creates a something for nothing mentality. Deep down
we all want something for nothing.
That is why sales work, and almost everybody likes to gamble in some way. But
when one really thinks about it, there is something about it that is against nature
and survival. There are threats in nature that people with strong survival instincts
recognize instantly. The most genuine caring and considerate people are the ones
that have struggled the most. The more one puts into life, the more one gets out
of life. Easy come, easy go.
The fact is man has always had to struggle to survive, and gambling is just what it
says--a gamble. If you gamble on your life, sooner or later you lose your life. If
we gamble on our society, sooner or later we lose in some way. People have died
for this country and worked too hard to ante it up. You don't gamble unless you
can afford to lose.
The seeds of socialism were planted with the New Deal. Since then, we have had a
fair deal, a new frontier, a great society, and a new covenant. Now we are
approaching socialism with ever increasing speed. Almost the whole country is
looking to the government as a provider for something. We no longer depend on
the extended family.
We depend on ourselves, and when we fail or become unemployed we look to the
government to provide for our survival. That will work as long as you have a
strong secure government, but it erodes our family values and the extended family
system. It's natural for everyone to want to be independent and call his own shots
with the government footing the bill.
A lot of people have developed a way of life that they never could have done on
their own. In the past they were dependent on a strong family and extended
family to take care of them. It stands to reason that nobody is going to give up
privileges voluntarily. The only way people are going to start depending on
themselves and their extended families again is that they will have to need the
extended family to survive.
Otherwise there is no way to bring back the strong families and extended families
like in the past years as long as the government is doing the providing. No matter
what it takes, we must start back relying on ourselves, our families, our extended
families, our neighbors, our communities, and private enterprise because every
social spending government sooner or later is going to run out of money.
Make no mistake about it, there are no everlasting guarantees in history.
I don't want to sound like just another gloom and doom sayer, but we definitely
need a strong family and extended family structure just in case things fall apart
and our government does go flat broke.
We have some time to prepare, but the government must get out of the way, so
family members, neighbors, communities, churches, private organizations and
lastly government will be depended on to aid those in need. Nowadays a lot of
family members don't need one another, and can't stand being around one
another.
That is because social spending has made almost everybody dependent on the
government in some way for their survival, instead of depending on each other for
their survival. It take some adjustment to learn how to get along with extended
family members, and nobody is going to do it without a strong survival need.
Added to the problem is many parents are not raising their kids to be considerate
and respectful, so that make it even less likely that extended family members are
going to tolerate one another. That could mean death to many if a severe
calamity struck.
