Monday, May 10, 2010 the Philippines held it's first computerized national election. Results were almost instantaneous for the computers that worked. However, it was widely reported that thousands of precincts or barrios had nothing but trouble with their systems. So who's to say that this election was 100% accurate! Only the winner!
In every society, when the people begin to mistrust those in authority for legitimate reasons or for reasons credited by an anti-government media, the results or reasons for any decision will be questions, scrutinized and eventually delegated to the conspiracy theorists that are ever lurking in the wings to cause doubt and suspicion.
Since the mid-1960's when one person was able to throw out one of our most important values out of public schools - that is corporate prayer, the generation of children have been subjected to teachings that are almost always without moral compass, values or virtues. It wasn't unit the late 1990's when classrooms became jungles again and confrontation was the name of the game that someone suddenly decided that Character education was needed and necessary in the classroom.
The bully is the cause of the problem. But who created the bully? Children are not naturally born to be bullies. Even the vilest of grownups and adults who commit all kinds of despicable crimes were once sweet and adorable little children.
Society is at fault. The society that decided to turn away from the principles of Godliness and holiness and instead have turn to the gods and goddesses of self pleasure and satisfaction.
Our sick society is the result of good people doing nothing.
The corruption that has pervaded the Philippines is another example of what can happen when good people neglect to vote for righteousness and integrity but rather give way to sentimentality or financial gain or political cronyism.
Good people who worked so hard to effect a positive change - must not give up. Whether your candidate wins or looses - the battle continues. The battle to restore truth and justice and the American Way. What is the American way? It is based on honor, integrity, and Christian and Judeo-Values.
The Election is Over. But the battle to restore integrity continues!
