Youth - The First Victims Of Moral Decay

How sad I was to hear this weekend that what should be a time of celebration for young Victorian school leavers has turned into a mess of violence and despair. I only wish I could say I was surprised.

In these tumultous times when cowardice and burying your head in the sand is considered "chic" in the minds of brainwashed radicals, is it any surprise that our youth are turning on each other? How can they learn to relate to other people and create paths of peace when the Leftists of Australia insist on teaching our young people that the best way to resolve confict is to ignore it until it explodes?

The Hawke\Keating years caused such massive damage to the psyche of this great country, one might start to believe that the damage done is simply too great to be reversed. To you, faithful reader, I say "Do not lose heart!"

As we enter a glorious new era of Australian politics, remember that the public's faith in John Howard and the conservative Coalition proves beyond doubt that the people of this country have had enough of violence, greed and stupidity. No more following the wannabe Islamic liberals of this nation into the proverbial vegetarian cafe of angst, and being peer-pressured to order soy lattes of hate. By putting our faith in a courageous Government and our beloved American allies, we are standing together and saying "No!" to conflict.

I only wish the youths involved in "Schoolies" fracas hadn't been so obviously influenced by placard waving would-be Neville Chamberlains, whose cries of "appease evil or be damned" have resulted in our teenagers carrying around heavy souls cursed with the pain of divisive and plain idiotic politics.
