ever experimented with drugs
such as marijuana, cocaine, her-
oin, uppers and downers, even
misused prescription drugs? How
many of you overeat?
Now I know all of the above
are small things compared to tak-
ing a gun into a school or busi-
ness or home and shooting some-
one. So with this in mind, how
many of you have ever killed
someone? Military action counts
in this question only because I
want to show that there is illegal
killing and lawful killing.
Now most of everything list-
ed above is illegal or immoral.
Some of these questions you
might think trivial or minute.
There are laws on the books re-
garding many ofthese questioned
deeds. Yet, many of these things
were and are being violated ev-
ery day. Would more legislation
make a difference? Some of the
items mentioned about are out-
lined in the Ten Commandments.
Yet, we continue to break them.
So are there some of you that
have not done some of the above?
My question now is "Why?" Were
you afraid? Were you embar-
rassed? Was it because it was
illegal? Was it due to your up-
bringing by your parents? Was it
because of something you learned
in church? Were you afraid of
getting caught and in turn afraid
of the punishment that would be
administered? Why do you slow
down when you see a police car
on the road, even though you
may be driving at the speed lim-
it? '
So I guess itall boilsdown to
this. No matter how many laws
are written and put into effect,
there is something in each of us
that regulates our actions. Maybe
this is where our lawmakers
should concentrate efforts to
make this a better world. Find out
what makes humans do good or
bad acts. Don’t attack the tools of
violence, but rather attack the
cause of violence. As for laws,
enforce the ones we already have
evenly and fairly.
tions, 1 am not trying to point a
finger of guilt, I’m just trying to
get you to think. As 1 put this
together, it got me to thinking
about myself.
Here we go. Regarding the
age check, how many of you as
teenagers ever lied about your
age so you could buy: beer, alco-
hol, cigarettes or other items a
teenager wasn't supposed to buy?
How many of you had someone
older buy some beer or alcohol or
cigarettes for you? How many of
you men 1 ied about your age so as
to see a strip side show at a carni-
val or a stripper at some bar?
How many ever lied about your
age to attend an X-Rated movie?
How many have ever viewed
pornography on the Internet?
How many have painted
graffiti on a water tank or over-
pass or some building? How many
ever slipped into a drive-in mov-
ie? How many have ever shop
lifted some little, what you might
consider, an insignificant item
from a store on a dare, a bet or just
because you wanted that item?
How many ever stole something
from a friend? How' many have
cheated, just a little, on your in-
come tax? How many, when mak-
ing an insurance claim on a prop-
erty loss, added a little to the
dollar amount of the loss? How
many, as teenagers, stole water-
melons?
How many cheated on tests
in school? How many managed
to dodge the draft? How many
have fudged on a score in a game
of golf, bowling, or other game?
How many of you hunters have
ever shot more game than what
the law allowed or ever shot ille-
gal game such as a doe or hunted
out of season? How many fisher-
men have caught more than the
legal limit? How many have
fished or hunted without a li-
cense?
How many of you, wh i le vis-
iting a friend while his or her
parents were out for the evening,
joined with your friend getting
into his or her parents private
liquorcabinet? How many ofyou
1 \er> time there's a major
ifcident that hits big in the news.
■|c members of the l .S. Congress
a|id Senate along w ith legislatures
It-om the \ arums states go crazy in
ti§ mg to come lip w ith legislation
uhd laws that will be the savior of
America.
Right now. the big push is
due to the shootings at Columbine
High School in Colorado along
with other shooting^incidents at
various schools across America.
I he culprit under attack is first of
all. the gun. Then tlrere's the at-
tack on movies. TV. and music for
their \ iolence. Whs. we're gonna
change America’s teenagers by
requiring an ID card before going
to a movie. There's even a move-
ment on to have the lyrics of songs
printed and posted with an age
limit on who can buy a record
based on the Is l ies, i
There's a push far more gun
lass s. Regarding the brutal murder
of a black man in tile dragging
death in Jasper last s ear, there's a
push for a hate crime lass. We
ahead) base all kind's of laws on
the books regarding murder and
nil there’s a ers for another lass
Come on folks. |f s time for a
real its check.
And ms reality check begins
with all ms readers. I wish there
w as a w as to get a cops of this to
all the congressmen, senators and
legislators in America. 1 wish Pres-
ident Clinton could read this also.
Tin going to ask some ques-
tions You don’t have to answer
them aloud, just answer them in
soni mind and in sour heart. Be
honest nos\....no cheating. And
d aft be offended by these ques-
