It was with great sadness that I read of yet another public tradition disappearing. I speak of the annual Elk's May Day parade being cancelled. I also feel kind of angry, because it demonstrates all too clearly that the very fabric of our society is quickly falling apart. But, before you get to blaming politicians as I often do, it is time to take an honest look at the real cause, and why.
The reason for the breakdown of society is quite intentional. Its purpose is to afford better control of the public by corporately controlled governments, who have traitorously turned their backs on their nation. By simply creating the perception that it is a good thing for us to think only of ourselves, and that the only three people of any importance to us are "me, myself and I", the government pits us against each other, knowing that divided we will fail to put up a concerted and effective resistance to their corporate masters' whims.
The way this slaughter of societal values is being done is through our educational system. Teachers are forced to teach conformity, and to deliberately suppress our nation's greatest natural resources, individualism and imagination. Despite their amazing staff and abilities, our educational institutions are told to produce workers not leaders, and schemers not dreamers. The result is that we now enjoy the most cutthroat, educated unemployed workforce in the world, and live in communities where neighbours don't even know each other's names.
But, there is a easy way to turn the tide on the destruction of society's morals, values, pride, patriotism and civic responsibility. If service clubs, community spirit, the middle class, our environment, and, all that is good and decent is to survive and thrive, only one small change needs to be made. And, it's a wee change that will have an enormous positive effect on the entire world. Parents and schools simply need to make it a priority to develop children's hearts, instead of their minds.
