When you love your children, you want the best for each one of your children. You want them to be successful and good role models for future generations. You don’t want your children to be liars. You do not want your child’s upbringing end in a life of crime as your legacy. In other words; you do not want criminals as offspring. There is a difference and you should really care!
With today’s entourage of visible role models, which of these would you want your children to emulate? Bill Clinton who is liar, adulterer, and a whoremonger? What about those sluts, Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton et al? Is this what you want for your daughter’s primary examples? What about Michael Jackson as role model material? Would you be proud of a daughter like Anna Nicole and her fast-track lifestyle?
From sports icons to political hacks, the good guys are hard to find. In sports, you will usually never hear a bad word about Cal Ripkin! And who doesn’t like Oprah Winfrey? I may not agree with her political view and persuasions; but as a kind decent person; she has my respect! There are a lot of good people still around but; they are getting harder to find. The media has a penchant for the outrageous lifestyle and focus on the reprobates and societal rejects instead! Good human interest stories are still reserved to books like Reader’s Digest! Periodically; you can find a good human interest story in other publications.
This Presidential race will field some interesting candidates. Where do we start when we choose the candidate to be our elected official? More attention should be paid to every candidate’s morality and their role model image. Which one of the candidates so far would you say possesses exemplary qualifications? Which one can you truthfully say would be a good role model? Which one of these candidates would you want your son or daughter to be just like? Personally; I am not impressed so far! More attention should be devoted to each candidate’s goals for their office and their personal values, which includes morals! Are any of these candidates immoral, amoral, or downright evil? We should know!
