How Things Change Out From Under Us
- Text size
Anyone who has been around for a while and who pays any attention to the news sees many disturbing changes. Recently, I read a report that two children, ages seven and eight, had an altercation at school during recess. They were carted off in handcuffs by the police. The teachers or principal had dealt with the boys’ disagreement by calling in the law.

| When I was a kid there were no age limits to the Second Amendment. | |
I wonder if the kids now have felonious assault records that will cancel their Second Amendment rights when they come of age.
When I was a kid there were no age limits to the Second Amendment. We all had firearms before we reached puberty. Anyone with the money could purchase a .22 caliber rifle at the local hardware store. If you were too young to see over the counter, the proprietor might call your parents to get an OK. You could purchase .22 caliber ammunition and shotgun shells at most any gas station.
None of us ever shot anyone or any farmer’s cow or mule. There were no gun accidents among my armed companions.
My grandmother never batted an eye when I walked out of her farmhouse with my grandfather’s shotgun. Guns were just a routine item. We all learned gun safety from the Boy Scouts. My grandmother only became concerned for my safety when I became the proud owner of a spirited horse.
If the attitudes that exist today had been around when I was coming along, my entire generation would be felons. I had my first altercation at the age of three. Bullies were ever present. A kid had to steel himself against them. At six years of age I learned that, Lone Ranger and Roy Rogers bravado notwithstanding, an older and stronger kid was just that. Fortunately, my mother was there to rescue me.
In our neighborhood elementary school, to which we all walked or rode our bikes from kindergarten on, recess was where one’s mettle was tested. One of our classmates, Robert, was much bigger than the rest of us and became overbearing.
Generally, our fights were wrestling matches. The first to get a scissors or a headlock on the other party would prevail. But Robert was a boxer, and as he was a head taller and long-armed, he was a problem. One day Herbert had enough of Robert, and a fistfight emerged. It was the first time we saw blood. Herbert was game, but Robert had the reach and the punch, and Herbert got a bloody nose and a busted lip.
The fight lasted a fairly long time, but the playground monitor, Mrs. Humphrey, a pretty young woman who taught the second grade, finally broke it up.
No police were called.
Robert won the fight, but it was the end of his bullying. Herbert, who was about 14 inches shorter, had stood up to him and continued the fight until rescued by Mrs. Humphrey.
Fighting was just normal. It wasn’t a police issue. Notes might have gone home to parents to explain the cut lip and bloody nose, but fights were just part of growing up. A person had to learn how to stand up for himself.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Soon the weakling is a different man. He is back on the beach, encounters the bully, and KO’s him with a right to the jaw. The girlfriend is overflowing with adoration for “a real man.”
Today, this ad would probably bring a lawsuit or an arrest for inciting violence.
Certainly, the bully would be arrested for assault for pushing the weakling to the ground.
The transformed weakling would be arrested for assault for letting the bully have what was coming to him.
When I was in high school, a rich kid, Fate, who worked out with weights and whose father brought in professional boxers to give Fate boxing lessons, decided that he wanted my girlfriend. He spread the word that, after school, he was going to beat me up.
An older and more experienced student with a Napoleonic turn of mind advised me. He explained that I was unlikely to fare well if I worried all day about the event, which would be worse for having a big audience. The trick, he said, was to surprise my antagonist by striking first. Physical-education class would be the opportunity, he said. Fate and I were the quarterbacks of the opposing teams. My mentor said, “Pick the moment and let him have it.”
I did.
Fate was the better fighter, but he had relied on intimidation instead of skill, and it had not worked for him. Where there had been confidence, there was now uncertainty. He was unsure of the outcome, and this gave me the edge.
The fight lasted the entire length of the P.E. class. The football coach in charge of the period did nothing. Fate got the worst black eye of his career. Miraculously, I emerged unmarked.
I kept my girlfriend, eventually married her, and fathered two wonderful children with her.
This sounds like bragging, but the point is entirely different. Today, Fate and I would be carted off in handcuffs. We would have assault records. We would have no Second Amendment rights, and every time there was an assault in our town the police would pick us up for questioning.
Fate was no worse for his black eye. It probably taught him to escape from hubris. He went on to be a quarterback for the University of Georgia.
I went on to become assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury.
If the police had been called, they would have just watched the fight.
Today, even pretend fighting can result in expulsion. Not long ago there was a news report of a six-year-old who, playing cowboys and Indians or cops and robbers at recess, pointed his finger at classmates and said, “Bang, bang.”
The school determined that the six-year-old was a danger to his classmates.
How times change. We were never without our cowboy cap guns and holsters until we had attained sufficient coordination to be accepted in the neighborhood football and baseball games. In the third or fourth grade I took a .38 caliber Spanish revolver, for which I had traded a World War II helmet, to school for show-and-tell. The teacher asked if it was loaded. “No ma’am,” I replied, “this old pistol won’t fire, besides, you don’t load a gun unless you are on the firing range or on the hunt.” “Unless,” I added, “you are a soldier at war.” I demonstrated that the pistol wasn’t loaded by opening the gate and twirling the cylinder, just as Randolph Scott did in the movies.
The teacher wasn’t perturbed. It was a tame item, really. The previous week, Buddy Sikes had brought a copperhead to school in his backpack thinking it was a garter snake.

It is called mindcontrol madness;We are feeling entities, we are subject to those feelings.
When we act as automatons, we become “split-off” from our real emotions, which as John Elliot Bradshaw calls “energy in motion” and says further, we get really sick, perverted, messed-up when forced to repress those emotions!
We are under a madness-tyranny!
Read, better still, read & view(video) of The Family by Bradshaw, and other best sellers.
Be well,…son, God won’t let it last long, as sick as it is now.

Yeah Seal,
I’m comfortable saying that there are ways to control the population through electromagnetic manipulation. Looking at situations that we can see….like HAARP…”Angells Don’t Play This Harp”, and the power that this electromagnetic transmitter can do. Believe me…The US Government has much more in store for the unsuspecting and those who bury their heads and say>>>>>>>>>>>>>>NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Our government is our protector……Just listen to what George Bush and DICK Cheny had to say about world affairs.
I do not approve of Obama. I did vote for him and I continue to feel that he is a threat to our national security. I thought Ron Paul would have been the overall best choice.
Then again, when John F. Kennedy was president……he stepped on too many toes and got his head shot off by some american counterparts.

we should have picked our own cotton. some people are not evolved enough to handle the responsibilities others can take on. take a look into the past when cocaine was legal, it was given to certain people to produce faster work, it created monsters. monsters who run down our cities, kill for nothing, and spread their seeds like wildfire. i can go 20 minutes from my house and it seems like a third world country. trash spread from one side of the street to the other. people coming up to your car window every time you stop to ask for some change. at some point you have no choice but to blame these people for their ignorance and lack of will to evolve. it is sad to say but a squirrel has more knowledge of life than most blacks do. if you do not believe me, observe a squirrel for a while, then go downtown and observe your local blacks. right now the squirrel is getting his food he stored back for winter, and the blacks just have an open hand out, or a gun in your face to take what you worked hard to earn.

Im white, and my grandfather (moms side) did pick his own cotton. Right in Eva AL. My other grandfather (dad side) was a share cropper. Pretty much a white slave in Charleston SC. Niether man had seen a black man till they joined the military. Neither man hated blacks, and taught us the same. There are plenty of whites that do the same things you described. Every day. So Jerdy hate everybody evenly or dont hate any one at all. Look past some ones skin color and you will find a brother you never thought you could have. UNITED WE STAND – DIVIDED WE FALL

Ky,
Good post brother. I was raised the opposite of how you were raised. Not that I was in an environment were hate was spewed and thrown around every other minute or even mentioned on a daily basis. But all it takes is the occasional comment to plant the seeds of racism. My father, who I’ve seen help both blacks and whites, a man who never turns down anyone and is probably the most generous man I know, would make the occasional racist remark. Go figure?
Growing up I would here racial slurs every so often from all parts of the family. It was something most people did occasionally. I don’t know why (probably because their parents did the same thing) but that was the way it was. Even though this kind of behavior is repugnant these people were not bad people. Most of them were the first to offer help to a stranger…a stranger of any color. Just remember, an errant remark, even racial, does not equate to being a bad person, only a human being.
The movie “Crash” does a good job of showing this.

as a child you could say i was ignorant, i loved everybody. i did not grow up in any kind of hate filled environment. i lived in the “ghetto” and had several black friends. i do not live there now, and stopped at nothing to get out of there. almost twenty years later all my black friends still live in the same place. my white friends all evolved and are doing well. informing a person of cold hard facts should not be the same as being racist. we have turned into pussies who are afraid to hear the truth. rather than changing the way we live we blame somebody else for our hardships and wait for someone to bring us change. i am from the show-me state(missouri) i have done a lot of traveling in my day and have seen life with my own eyes. the kind of life few americans get to see, and its not what they show you on the tube. i dare anyone white person to travel to the northern parts of africa and see for themselves. you will have a whole new outlook on race and racism. put yourself on that slave boat just for a second. you look around and there is 150 other people in your position. white men would not have let that vessel sail without a fight my friend. for us to deny the fact that we are not created equal and that all races are the same is far worse than being racist. it would be like letting the mentally challenged become airline pilots because they are human too. my daughter is two years old and her favorite phrase is “wake up people.” i have no idea where she learned that but i love it. WAKE UP PEOPLE!! unfortunately i have to agree with charles darwin. it is survival of the fittest and if you are unable to see the ones who cannot survive on their own as a problem then you too will soon starve to death. everything the blacks blame ” the man” for is what you and as whites are seeing before our own eyes. we know something isnt right, we want to learn how to change it. which is what brings us to this site. wwbd in a time like this? in a time that looks all too familiar to them. the same thing they always do and have done for thousands of years, nothing. just sit back and wait for an order. the evil in me thinks they are put here for our use. they will not do anything on their own, and therefore should be used by someone who wants to better their life. and no, wanting money for bling is not a better life. it is proven that an adult black males brain function is no more advanced than an eleven year old white male. and that is what we see throughout our cities, a bunch of children running around with guns. they like bright shiny things, they cannot dress themselves in a mannerly fashion, they hang out all day in groups, and the same goes for children. i do not hate them, i just know the facts. if i seen that my child was growing up and not learning anything and just not advancing like she should be, i am not going to hate her. but i am not going sit there and do nothing, something would change. so stop watching stupid fucking movies and pick up a damn book for gods sake. oh and before you open your dumb fucking mouth, I AM ALL WHITE. could someone tell me what happened to obamas daddy.

If you were black you would be even more ashamed of our sable bretheren; It is not their fault, although it is easy to accuse them of laziness orapathy; But have you ever considered a robber lazy? I mean they are scared stiff at first but act notwithstanding, then often run faster than a track star!
No it is not any of the easy blame regular accusations, which might stick on them.
We are all under the microscope and mad scientist crazy house rules, which will get worse and worse, until,…until what?
Until we realize these are also our bretheren. These also are manipulated-far worse than you ever experienced! These are made to serve a role. They are more used than whites, in keeping jailsystems, socializations, restrictive policies; The blacks, most especially those trapped generationally in poverty.
What is the solution? Well, er, you see, if we are respected;say for instance, we show them respectabilities, I am referring to a totally new means of interacting with them. Now one would want to be careful here, too, as we all know(being city dwellers at some time) that if you do not keep your eyes open, and not act like a victim-you will be robbed, rolled!
But keeping attentive to any threats, but somehow reciprocating respect…
Listen, you know near often a younger black is rowdy. After he has earned 20 or 40 years of experiance, has had several children, some real trying experiances, attempting keep a family system(impossible in today’s socialized scheme) and generally, an older black is humbled, by all the past snares & traps, he had to work through! Drugs, welfare, teen pregnancy, unemployment, jail, prison, paroll, Probation, robbery-injuries, child support, and so on. Such that by the time he awakens he is a man of senior years!
This too is sad, isn’t it? Had he smartened up before adulthood…? Who knows?
Have you see Antwon Fisher, the movie? An excellent example.
I too come from a line of slaves…still family attempt to enslave me. Oh I come from a Cherokee lineage, although I am white and never knew of this “indian” blood. As it happens, my favorite and most loved grama, now gone, but she was 1/2 Cherokee.
Cherokee used to enslave their own! They fell right into Confederacy 1861-65, since they found slavery so lucrative.
I relate very well to John Bradshaw;But also no-one can know how slavery-mentality dwells through the generations. Just like the role-playing of blacksheep or scapegoat. Or fall-guy.
I have found hypocracies resistant to respectfully accepting these facts, within my own family of origin, let alone the stranger in our midst. There are no strangers, to a friend.

Skin color IS the product of skin pigmentation and the body does not define who we are.. period!

“At what point is enough, enough? Where is our Patriotic breaking point?”
Incrementalism… habituation… the frog in the pot…. It seems we are waiting for one big astounding event to pound our fists on the table and say, “enough is enough!” The elite know this.
For an excellent exposition on why people fall into apathy, read They Thought They were Free by Milton Meyer. An excerpt:
“What no one seemed to notice,” said a colleague of mine, a philologist, “was the ever widening gap, after1933, between the government and the people…..” “This separation of government from people, this widening of the gap, took place so gradually and so insensibly, each step disguised (perhaps not even intentionally) as a temporary emergency measure or associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purposes. And all the crises and reforms (real reforms, too) so occupied the people that they did not see the slow motion underneath, of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter.
[And they] kept us so busy with continuous changes and “crises” and so fascinated, yes, fascinated, by the machinations of the “national enemies”, without and within, that we had no time to think about these dreadful things that were growing, little by little, all around us. Unconsciously, I suppose, we were grateful. Who wants to think?

This almost brought a tear to my eye thinking about how much things have changed even in my short 26 years. I think about my nephews who are in the Government School System because, naturally, both of their parents have to work, and how much time I spend with them trying to teach them to be men because they damn sure can’t learn it on the Playground or the ball field anymore.
They came home a couple of weeks ago and called me and told me about the ribbons they’d won at Field Day. They said everyone got one. I asked ‘em if they were proud of ‘em and they both said “Hell No”. Well, looks like it’s working. Good for them.

Same for me. Got me thinking back to all the things that were “allowed” when I was a kid. Discipline was allowed. If you cussed at the teacher, you got your butt spanked..with a board with holes in it. Nobody I know of ever had any long lasting harm from that. In fact it taught us there were consequences for our actions. Do kids today get taught that, for there actions there are consequences? hmmmm.
We did all sorts of “politically incorrect things”. Skinny dipping after school, sparrow hunting with our new red ryder lever action BB gun, we would make toys out of almost anything. One time we used a plank of a old barn and a saw horse and had our own seesaw. We didn’t need to go to the park for that stuff. We would go fishing, and if the creek ran along a neighbors land we always had permission. You cant even get permission now-a-days to fish in a neighbors pond. We would work hard too, at age 12 picking up hay, or feeding animals, etc. If when we were little, and we threw a temper tantrum in a store because we wanted mom or Dad to buy us something, they could whip our butts if needed, and nobody called the cops, and nobody called Dept of Children services on my parents. Result? We didn’t vandalize, or take things for granted, we learned to respect others too and not be selfish, and we didn’t go around with a sense of entitlement, like so many kids do today. We knew the value of a dollar, and of hard work.
Has anyone seen America? We miss her.

Ain’t that some shit!
Everybody gets a ribbon…which makes them completely worthless. Now a days you get praised for breathing and a ribbon to boot! I was born in the early seventies and man has the world changed. Police were mellow, neighbors talked to each other much more and the neighborhood was always buzzing on late summer evenings. Now neighbors rarely talk with each other and the streets are dead on warm summer evenings.
The police (not all of them) are brutal and aggressive control freaks who give you a dirty look if you ask them a question. If you need their help they act as if your taking up too much of their important time. Once they were peace officers and public servants, now they are thugs with guns and people become frightened when they show up on the scene. They are a sign of trouble not a welcomed presence.
I’ll take the good old days, keep your new world order.

This is what the schools are coming to… people are forced to fit in and accept what they are told is the right and what is the wrong. A friend of mine was home schooled for a while, he attended public school for about a week before his mother pulled him out. He had made a list of his friends and their usernames so he could add them to his facebook, the pricipal and administration saw it as a threat and suspended him. She actually had to fight to pull her kid out of the school, they said he was “unstable.”

The answer is very simple as to how we got ourselves in this mess with an out of control government that we have today.
What we did was give parasites the power to tax us at will. This is the foundation to make parasites our masters so we serve them and not the other way around. Its got to a point that they have the power to put us in prison and kill us if we resist their demands.

Life 20 years ago compared to now is totally different. Today, for kids, watching non-cable channels you learn about sex. In school, teachers spanked students. In most cases they would rather get the spanking from the teacher than the principal or getting parents called in. I can’t count the times a parent came into the class room to whip their child in front of the class. Today, the school system encourages students to report in if their parents whip them, calling it child abuse.
I’m not sure what the hell happen but its time for parents to raise their children and quit letting society do it for them. We have also turned into a nation of greed. I rather do without the luxuries than to have my kids in a daycare or school system. My luxury is for me to spend all the time I can with my kids teaching them things I feel they should know. In the end it’s all about survival.
My parents taught me how to hunt, fish, clean game, cook, and be respectful to others. I intend to pass that on to my children in hopes they can carry it on as well.

I grew up with a gun in the corner. It was always there, even when we were 2 years old, we knew never to tocuh it or go near it until we were older.
My grandfather used to take his gun to school. At lunchtime the boys would go and shoot squirrels for supper. Everyone brought a gun to school, no big deal, no one ever got hurt.

Same here. We never shot at anything we didn’t intend to hit.. we were careful with guns, didn’t want dad to ground us from it. We knew right from wrong, and we didn’t blame things on everything and everyone but ourselves. If we did it we fessed up. Pure and simple. We didn’t let the Other guy do all the work, honesty was prevalent in society. Standing on your own two feet meant something. If you neglected the tires on your car, and they blew out, you didn’t balem it on the car company. How much times have changed…
April 28th, 2009 at 8:49 am
It really is a shame at how our society has changed for the worse. It has fallen so great over the years that most of society have no real morals, decency, and most of all commonsense.
I am not as old as a lot of people (granted I was born in ‘77), but I have noticed differences in the behaviors and attitudes of most society in this country.
For instance, my friends and I use to always play basketball or football, or any other sport with adults that we did not know from Timbuktu and enjoyed playing with them for hours on end. We were not afraid to approach them and talk to them and ask them questions, and vice versa. There were no problems any more than what they already were and are today.
Now hell, it as if it is taboo and a crime to interact with a child, let alone have a subject regarding children or watching a child commercial without not really looking at the child in the commercial or some other stupid crap without someone in the audience pondering, why is he starring awfully hard into this commercial with this kid in it. Just stupid shit.
You can’t even approach a child without being labled or branded as a paedophile or child molester or gay, especially if you don’t know the child and it can be for any simple reason-yet people in today’s society overreact with the CIAmedia overhyping and programming into people heads bullshit propaganda that a huge amount of the population are dangerous freaks and to never let your child do anything alone or out of your eye sight for fear of your child being violated somehow.
Now don’t get me wrong, always protect the children, but don’t make them growing paranoid when the have children on their own. It’s like a never-ending cycle.

25years ago there wasn’t such a diagnoses of “Attention Deficit Disorder”. If you wanted to screw off in clss, a note got sent to your parents, and a parent teacher conference was held. You were most likely grounded until you brought your grades up, end of story. Funny thing is if you wanted to pay attention, you could. But first you had to be taught as a child that school was for learning, and that it was important, and that there would be consequences if you wanted to be a screw up. None of the kids in my school had ADD. Nobody was taking Ritalin. We all survived and grew up, and were just fine. We werent molly coddled, we were allowed to be young men and women. Now everyone, knows someone who’s kid is taking some sort of drug for “Attention Deficit Disorder”. What a crock that is.

I don’t believe add is a crock anymore than autism is a crock. I think it is a direct result of immunizations that start before a baby even leaves the hospital nowadays. They didn’t used to vaccinate as often and as heavily as they do the kids today. But on the same subject the medications for add are a crock. Let kids be kids instead of training them like dogs. Dumb down the really smart and active ones with brain altering medications so the teacher can handle the 50 kids in her class.It’s sick when parents put their kids on drugs just cause they can’t figure out how to parent.My son is 16 and he has addhd and he has never been put on drugs for it and he is doing great. He is writting a book and is very involved with likeminded youth who are awake to the elite plans.

Neutering a dog makes him “safe” too. Basically by allowing the Govt to make our decisions for us, in order to “protect us” and make us “safe” we are shirking our own responsibility to maintain our own safety, without the govt’s help. In effect we let them do everything for us, and allow ourselves to be neutered. We need to say BIG GOVT LEAVE MY BALLS ALONE! No wonder there are fewer and fewer people in this country with any BALLS!
Govt needs to but out. American people need to learn the meaing of words like responsibility, fidelity, work instead of welfare, excercise instead of Jerry Springer show. Less donuts, less chips, more helping each other. I know some of us, know these things, but the masses do not. The ritalin they took in childhood is neutering them from the inside out.

I was taught that you stand up for yourself. When a bully fought me I was told to make sure you hit the bully at least one time real good. Then the bully will think, “sure, I won the fight but he hit me in my nose good and it still hurts.” He would no longer wish to beat me in a fight remembering his nose.

I’m amazed at how many people blame the schools for society’s ills. The schools are a reflection of the trends in society, not a trend-setter. The education buraucracy is beholden to the Fed, as is every other bureaucracy that takes money from the Federal teat. Don’t blame the teachers, or, for that matter, the parents — at least, as a homogenous group. Blame yourself, me, each of us individually, for allowing the government to succeed in its attempt to wrest all power from our control. I know that’s a lot harder to deal with than picking on some ‘other’ group, but I challenge you to refute it.

When I was in school a very popolar wood shop project was to make a new stock for your gun. Since all grades rode the same bus. I think that at least once a week I rode to school with a armed student. When I got to high school I found out why this was so popolar project I made a stock for my 410 my uncles 30-30 and a couple of my dads buddys. Since older brothers made stocks for all of my Dads guns. All of the men gave me the wood and butt plates they wanted on there guns. Making this the cheapest project you could do. As I grew older I have found that this was a common thing though out oregon.

Those were the days when our country said the pledge of allegience which said one nation under God. Now we cannot even say the pledge of allegence most of the time without someone complaining why God is in it. Those were the days when kids went out to chase butterflies, ride their bikes, climb trees, & make treehouses, now kids watch t.v. play on the computer 24/7 including doing their homework by computer. When i was a kid we had books we did homework with and we were not allowed to play till it was done. Those were the days when all of the family sat at the dinner table to eat dinner and said a prayer before we ate. Those were the days when we all prayed before going to bed. We went to sunday school and church every sunday. The good Lord above is watching this country who once was such a lovely place to live, but with so much ungodliness which has taken over this country and the world has changed everything and made it an evil, terrible place to be. Thats why they called them the good ole days, because they were….

Governments that had a lot of these low life’s working in them, passed laws to protect and give unlimited rights, to this scum.
Decent people were made to feel, responsible for not assimilating with this filth, and excepting them as equals, and were quite happy to go along, with the long list of penalties, should they forget to know who runs things.
Those of us that had the guts to stand up where ostracized by our own kind, who had excepted the inevitable.

While the BUSH Administration wrecked Education lopping on “No Child Left Behind”, the poor teachers who are the victims of all this crap, have forgotten that kids are kids.
A lady named Susan O’Hanian has a great website about the Federal attack on Public Education. Now they want to force 4 years of high-end Science & Math instead of the 3 years we all had. The kids who do well in English, Art, etc. are finding their programs phased out, and they won’t do well – result? Michelle Wee can blame “Public Education”. And they can cart in their Corporate Education HORROR! Already they have kids in Chicago in Boot Camp Military Schools and 100 Public Schools were closed, all teachers let go, replaced by Charter Schools.
I wonder what the playgrounds are like at those schools – if they even have recess.
Susan O’Hanian has one essay “What Happened to Recess”

I have a slightly skewed view of this myself. I think that the NWO / elite have started all these policies in an effort to make us tame, domesticated sheep. They want the ONLY right to use force, irregardless of self-defense rights. When we have a few generations that have all been indoctrinated from kindergarten and before that a “nuggie” is an assault and battery in progress, then police and military will be free to bully us all with little opposition possible. They are intentionally and have intentionally criminalized childhood to get them raised with rules that none of us from “back in the day” could have or, indeed, would have been able to live under. Knives were a common item on the playground where I lived. Pocket knives and the “evil” sheath knife as well. We didn’t use them to cut on one another, sticks were fair game, as well as mumblety peg. How dangerous! Well, we actually lived and NOT in fear of others, our police or our government. So what changed? Inanimate objects are now responsible for people’s actions. Guns for crimes, knives for crimes, drugs for abusing our bodies and so on. Get over it. The world is run by the animate objects, people. They commit crimes, not the objects that they use.

In 5th grade I brought a spanish, American war vintage rifle to school with a stick bayonet for show and tell. No school lock down, no parents dragged off to jail, no panic, just a large crowd of kids wanting to handle it and know its history. The teacher gave me an “A” and thanked me for not bringing any of the bullets.(1960)
April 28th, 2009 at 10:32 am
My, my…
That sounds just like the way I grew up!
Except my old man gave me most of the beatings so at age 8
I left and went to work on neighbors’ and relatives’ farms.
There was no CPS; you just “sucked it up” and dealt with it.
I’m super glad I was “on my own” mostly at that young age.
It taught me self-reliance and ingenuity. I was known for
being able to fix tractors and cars by age 10, and LOVED it!
We feel sorry for the coddled, spoiled children of these times.
It’s just a wink away from total enslavement for them, because
they’ve already been accustomed to it.
Hope enough of us old timers survive the bio-attacks so we
can help teach those youngsters, (as many as are left) the
proper way a sovereign human should live.
April 28th, 2009 at 10:52 am
Having grown up in the “get-arrested-for-fighting” age, I must say that I am extremely jealous of your childhood. My only fight in school which the teachers watched resulted in getting dragged off by police. I remained silent, my opponent did not, and fortunately for me there were no assault charges.
When I asked the school authorities about it later, they only said “you should come to us if you have problems.”
It seems, then, to be mostly about conditioning the children that they should only seek redress of grievances through the established authority, and that punishment awaits for those who do otherwise.

Back then they weren’t being saturated from birth with violent tv shows, perverted tv shows, sick tv shows, and violent sick computer games. Sexy stuff was in a men’s magazine under dad’s bed, not wall to wall on the internet and tv…Bernays programming was most effective in creating the selfish individual. It just took a long time to get to where we are at today…incremenalism. The schools have a HUGE role in shaping society, they are not reflecting the society. And about all news is good for, since it is all the same shit on every channel – they even take their commercials at the same time- is to keep the false left right paradigm alive, and deliver predictive programming, or reactive programming. Programming is the key word here.
Tuning across the dial any time of the day would be a tremendous shock to anyone who was tv free for 20 years…and actually LIVING a life. I did it once for a year in college and was amazed how much detail I remembered from what little I watched (coming out of being tv free), and how inane, twisted, and perverting it was. I hadn’t noticed it before, because I was raised in it. But to turn it completely off for a year is a challenge very few in America would even consider.
Yes, much has changed, but the greed heads haven’t changed at all. They still want it all- and that includes your soul, BTW.

Amongst other rules at my children’s school:
ANY threat made by one student to another results in a call to the police and automatic suspension and possible expulsion (deemed by the principal as to the extent of said threat)
This includes blackmail: “If you tell ‘Sally’ I like her, I won’t ever be nice to you again and I will tell everyone in our class that you ‘pick your nose’ or etc”
this is an example of what happened 2 weeks ago in my child’s THIRD grade class! This is normal kid stuff people!

What is more cruel or abusive;putting some welts on a kids ass so as to teach him that there are consequences or leaving him/her to do as they wish until they are 17 or 18 and hearing a judge say,”I sentence you to 20 years incarcement under the state’s criminal justice system”? One way or another they will learn about consequences.
In hunting season many of us did keep rifles or shotguns in our cars[that we bought and paid for by working both after school and in the summer] and most of us always had a pocket knife as we knew how to casterate bull calves and did it during agriculture class.
In the sixth grade we went to the school farm/camp for a week and had to bring a pocket knife for wood-carving class.[boys and girls]
Nobody ever even pulled a gun or knife on the school bully. Back then over 90% of us had fathers at home, today many women do not know for sure just who the daddy is.

Well, the only catch is that the writer is from a different era. Would his school teachers reacted in the same way if 2 weeks prior a gun-toting youngster went on a killing spree during school? And the fight in gym.. firstly, I highly doubt it lasted the entire period. But would the gym coach reacted as nonchalantly if there were a sniper in a bell tower that killed a dozen people in his town square the day before?

I think the teachers in that era, still would not have had a problem with him bringing a revolver to class for show and tell. They would have known him. Afterall, they were his teachers. They knew what he was like. Furthermore, if he were to have brought it to class with the action open so they could all see it was unloaded, why the alarm?
2nd if the gym coach of that day had lived in a town where a sniper in a bell tower killed a dozen people the day before, he would have been smart enough to not equate a fist fight with a shooting. In fact, in many towns, instead of running around scared when there was some sort of threat from a nutjob, the town carried on business as usual. Well, not quite. They just all made sure they were armed or had easy access to arms. whole town against one sniper? Guess who would win that one? People back then ( and it wasnt so long ago) realized they had rights. They didn’t let a nutjob phase them, they simply dealt with the problem. They didn’t legislate it for 3 years, and spend mountains of money on tactics that dont work. Criminals are like bullies. Dont ask em to please stop. MAKE THEM STOP. so yeah, I dont think back in the day they would have really prevented a boy from showing a gun without ammo in it, or that they would have freaked out over a fist fight.

i bet any liberal that would read that article would just barf all over their keybord!
kids bringing guns to school for show and tell is ok? yes how times do change… i am not nearly as old as the man that wrote this article… and yes times were changing even when i was growing up… yes we fought or wrestled during recess… we brought toy guns to school and no they didn’t have orange tips on the front of them! some of them looked very real… but i guess the teachers didn’t get all that alarmed… although many fights broke out and the police were never called, by high school the school counseler had advised my mother to call the police and have me arrested as a runaway if i came in late past her set curfew again! things were changing even then back in the 1980s and early 1990s… liberals don’t have all the right answers!

How spineless this culture has become. The people are nothing more then whipped slaves. The police state becomes more oppressive by the day. Just as a corpse, the governmental bodies wreak of putrification and corruption. This is just the beginning. However there are enclaves hidden around the nation where people are waging a guerrilla war for freedom. Find them, help them out.

I guess a lot of those kids that got bullied and picked on in school became congressmen and changed the laws every time they had an opportunity and over the years things changes because of this.

I enjoyed Mr. Roberts’ letter. As I read the comments below it something happened. The discusson changed? I truly wish for folks to quit blaming and pointing fingers. YOU have created this society. YOU have chosen those that are elected. YOU have allowed the changes to happen. Say what you will but the story above is about a wonderful time when we were allowed to grow up in a free society. We no longer live in a free society, and every day they are taking more from us. Do you know how and what your elected officials voted to change today?

once you all come to terms with the fact these minions of God intend to kill you no matter what, you will have no hesitation in emptying your weapons in their direction when they come for them. I already told my Dad if he hears gun confiscation taking place, I would be laying in the threshold of my home(my Alamo) in a pile of spent 7.62 brass., so I say my good-byes now. You give up your weapons, you die!

“Fighting was just normal. It wasn’t a police issue. Notes might have gone home to parents to explain the cut lip and bloody nose, but fights were just part of growing up. A person had to learn how to stand up for himself.”
In other words, kids today are a bunch of pussies. I think everybody needs to read James Dobson’s book called “Bringing Up Boys”. It details how society is basically allowing it’s sons to be neutered by government and the media right before our very eyes.

Their is Big money, power and control in Tyranny! The change agents are so hard at work! Changing wrong to right and right to wrong! They are the educated positive thinkers! So proud and so mighty listen to them roar! They are in control! We let them be in control! How sad! They will build more tyranny prisons for the slaves and those few brave men that speak out against them! Yes they hated Jesus Christ, Jews and Christians in the past and still do! They hate the words of God! They don’t believe and are lost Monkeys going to hell! I await God’s wrath on them! It will be a great day of his return indeed! I can hear them scream and cry now! They earned his wrath! Burn baby burn! Oh it is so good to be born again! Saved for eternity forever! I laugh at the lost monkeys trying to rule the world with tyranny.

You are completely correct about the “Big Money” part. Even for all of the cops they have hired to do their dirty work.
Where I live:
An HVAC mechanic makes $35k a year.
An Electrician makes $35k a year
A Carpenter makes $12 an hour (and can’t work all year long)
A painter makes $9 an hour
A research scientist at the university by my house makes $31k a year (per last weeks help wanted adds)
A high school educated cop, who passed the 2 month police academy, starts out at $35k a year with guaranteed raises in his first 5 years to $52k a year. He gets a free car to bring home and use for personal errands, and can retire in 25 years.
Even the lower echelon of the NWO makes more than the rest of us…

The answer is Jesus Christ!
Only he will stop this Tyranny that you and I hate and God hates!
God will bring plagues and death on these evil monkey men like they have never seen before! They are all drunk and are fornicating in sin and death!
God will soon rule with a rod of Iron! He will for a thousand years! Then he is going to have a great white thrown judgement. Later a new Earth and Heaven and the new Adams and eves without sin will live forever and will spread out and multiply across the new heavens that God will create! This will contiue forever as well! No more death, prisons, police or tyranny or sin! This is what God wants and this is his will! It will be done! Finished!! You have no say so no man does! He is the real boss and his name is Jesus Christ!

Breakdown of the family, materialism, fast food, mass media indoctrination, are just a few of the issues responsible for the changes. Children use to carry child size rifles to hunt for their families. A young child could actually shoot with the abilities of a marksmen. Now, children can’t be trusted with such items. Incredible.
April 28th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
I remember when the changes started. Things started getting real bad when prayer was forbidden in school,corporal punishment became a reason for law suits and our fathers and grand-fathers sold their sons to the Viet Nam war machine so that their investments and economy would stay good. All of that happened in about one decade.

The way I see it, only the strong survive and this will be tested to the extreme before too long. I suspect the NWO is planning something very big for the U.S. soon which will trigger martial law and satisfy their ultimate goal: gun confiscation. Eternal vigilance IS the price of freedom…

Look at this current epidemic, Listen to Alex! I used to drive truck and deliver Federal loads into a cave in Kansas, the BOL (bills of Laden) were blank except for a government stamp saying it was “foodstuffs”!
They were gearing up with things then, and they have a plan in action. Hell, it was only a week AFTER Obama went to Mexico that the plague broke out down there! And one of the people he met and shook hands with is dead now! Think about it!

I am not yet 40.
We routinely took Chinese throwing stars to school everyday in the sixth grade.
In 8th grade science, the teacher would be cutting or poking something
and ask the class “who’s got a knife?” and the boys would hold theirs up to compare whose was bigger/better and to see which one the teacher would pick.
I took a real Samurai sword to a show and tell. Yes it was real. Yes it was sharp!
Random firecrackers around campus near the end of the school year did not result in police.
My older brother could take a deer rifle to the principal’s office (in 1986) and leave it in the corner. He would retrieve it after school for hunting season.
In 1991 all the boys would wear camouflage to school on the first day of deer season and go hunting immediately after school. And by default, you knew that the rifle was in the trunk of their car. NO PROBLEM. NO COPS.
In 1962, my mother carried a .22 pistol in her pocket-book every day of her senior year, given to her by her father with instructions to use it if need be.
I tell high school kids about this kind of thing today, and they just give me a vacant look. I tell young kids all the time that cops in school is unnatural and hateful.
April 28th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
This is just a general reply to this situation…….
The Orwellian society is here. You do not have rights. You will not have opinions. If you try to defend yourself…..YOU are the criminal. Read the book or watch the movie…1984. Need I say more? The monitary overloards who control our society and governments, through payoffs, extortion and murder tend to run the game. Our society is so corrupt, from what I see, it is un-fixable.

America has alaways has a tendency towards corruption and fascism.
DID YOU KNOW THAT MARTIAL LAW WAS DECLARED IN AMERICA IN 1794?!?
In 1786, farmers in Massachusetts rebelled against being crushed by taxes and the debt from the Revolutionary War.
In what was known as “Shay’s Rebellin”, they took up arms and forced courts to stop confiscating land as payment for debts.
“Patriot” SAM ADAMS WAS HORRIFIED AT THE REBELLION AND HELPED PASS A LAW SUSPENDING THE RIGHTS OF ASSEMBLY AND HABEAS CORPUS.
HE ARGUED THAT REBELLION IN AMERICA SHOULD BE PUNISHED BY EXECUTION!!!!!
The cry went out that the Aricles of Confederation were “too lax” and that a stronger Federal government was needed.
Thus, the Constitution was born.
Soon afterwards, President George Washington decided to tax whiskey to pay off the national debt.
Due to a corrupt law, Washington, who owned a huge, successful whiskey company, payed much less in tax on his whiskey than did the smaller whiskey manufacturers.
1794, some of them rebelled, in what was known as the Whiskey Insurrection.
GEORGE WASHINGTON DECLARED MARTIAL LAW AND PERSONALLY LEAD 12,950 TROOPS TO PUT DOWN A REBELLION OF A FEW DOZEN MEN!!!!!!!

If I got into a fair fight with someone, I wouldn’t charge him with assualt. If I got attacked for no reason at all, jumped me for my wallet, I’d call that assualt. If two guys are having a fair fight don’t get involved unless one is getting seriously hurt. It’s better to let them work things out like a man than having the same shit happen over and over again. Bullies for example, only respond to force. They walk over kids that don’t stand up for themselves. These days the kid that reacts to bullying and fights back gets in more trouble. I went through that shit in grade school. We are told to stand up for ourselves but at the same time to be passive and take it in the ass. Enough is enough, the continent of North America is becoming a land of passive sheep being led to the slaughter.

Thanks for the story – I remembered being in the sixth grade in 1983 and one young man brought his shotgun to school for show and tell. It was a small school in a little midwest town – nobody flipped out or died that day – What the hell has happened to us – Oh thats right we no longer talk about GOD or morals anymore – Oh and nobody gets a spanking from the principal anymore – just lots of DRUGS – The sooner these children of Leviathan get removed the better. GOD please help us who truly want it and will except it and may you come quickly. Amen..
April 29th, 2009 at 1:22 am
WHen I was a kid, I got bullied until I stood up for myself. No police…..No Jail time, And no if you throw a nerf football at someone jokingly, you’ve commited assault with a projectile weapon.. It is so sad but true!
Now, I did not vote for Obama, but after hearing some of his promises, I thought he might be good for the country, for about a week! Then my hopes were crushed when I heard he said that the Constituition was a failed document and that it needed to be removed.
Then he re-instated the Patriot act, and really crushed any hope of him being a better president than the last few!
I think we actually need to remove ALL of the politicians and start over!!!
April 29th, 2009 at 1:43 am
You know, here is another thought!
When I was a kid in the 70’s, we used to fight each other and had bullies and we wrestled with each other and had no REAL problems. All the angst, and anger that we had, (I know this might sound bad) but we took it out on each other in a kinda violent-nonviolent way. So with No way to release the aggression and anger that we feel, then what do they expect! People will be randomly attacked or what have you.
We basically, (when I was a Kid) always had a way to deal with our issues. Now days, since Dr. Spook put out saying that we were ALL traumatized by our experiences and we need to “talk”it out instead! Now I have talked to people about being Mad or angry, and it didn’t do any good, I was still angry.
So, Dr. Spock and ALL the liberals have helped lead us into what I term as Pussification!

Took BB pistols, knives, home made num chucks, firecrackers, smoke bombs, snakes, etc… to school regularly. In fights weekly. When I fucked up, I usually got nailed by a teacher/coach/principle pretty hard. There was some detention/suspension.
I remember once my younger brother got into a fight with some kid at recess, we just stood around in a circle and let them get it over with, he got his ass handed to him, but I wouldn’t intervene because it was his fight.
In the late eighties I was a volunteer youth football coach.
April 29th, 2009 at 6:54 am
I grew up in the 60’s. When I walked to school, we were robbed of our lunch money by a new kid who was obviously a bad seed. We simply learned to avoid him. Everyone had a 22 rifle at home, never thought to shoot this kid. When he got older, he was stopped by the police for a traffic violation. He pulled his 22 rifle on the police officer, forced him to drive to the police station and frog walked him into the lobby at gun point. Unfortunately, they may have practiced this scenario. When the hostage dropped to the floor, the cops lit him up and he had a Sonny Corleone moment. That boy had tombstones in his eyes. We often had very bad things happen in the sixties, they just weren’t sensationalized on national TV or in Washington DC.
April 30th, 2009 at 9:49 am
This is the ongoing conditioning of our kids to the new America. I graduated in the 1980,s and as recently as then we didn,t need the police to camp out at our school. They had other duties to do and very rarely visited the school unless there was a situation that administrators couldn,t handle or for the yearly driver safety seminar for teens(which included a smashed up car as display to get the point across).Today, all high schools have a “school resources officer”( not a security officer but a real cop from the local jurisdiction) who stays permanently at the school to monitor student activity.This could just be a sad sign of the times with youth violence being high. But it is also a means of getting kids used to and to accept the concept of having police/government always present in their lives. The hope is that these students, as they enter adulthood, will continue to rely on the government for their needs no matter the price in tax dollars and personal freedom. Parents used to be the first line of defense in ensuring that their kids were taught right and wrong and had some latitude in disciplining them when needed. Today, the nuclear family(i.e. a father, a mother and the children together)is becoming rarer as more young people are having kids earlier in life without a spouse and are not totally equipped to handle the situation. Their kids , in turn, have a hard time dealing with life and turn to drugs,gangs, etc. Well, here comes the government, right on cue, to save the day. They offer structure and guidance and police protection. All you have to do is live your life the way we tell you-how we want ,where we want,when we want-and you,ll be fine. Makes you wonder if it,s by design.
