Some years back they were having problems in Africa with elephants. Juvenile males would cause millions of dollars in damages. After considerable study, they determined it was because the older males were slaughtered by poachers for the ivory. No father influence. When I was in the military we did a lot of land navigation using old lensatic compasses. It seemed we never had enough to go around, and I remember one time a guy decided to use his own from some pawn shop. It was off by a couple of degrees, and since our objective was to find numbered stakes in a field which contained many stakes, He missed his targets. We all have a compass, a moral compass that tells us when we are off course. The problem is, some of our compasses are just not calibrated to moral north. The kid in Chicago you mentioned attributed his problems to the TV, music, and what he saw. He didn't have a father in the picture to tell him what to watch, not watch, what to not listen to, and he came from an area filled with kids who were lost as well, wanderers with out a moral compass following wanderers with out moral compasses. That same music and the same shows are on every TV fed by cable yet are the kids in backwater Kansas following the same track? Sad to say, some are, but the ones with parents who care are being steered away from the mind corrupting rot. If you are in the early stages of some disease, you won't necessarily know it. Most of us know the symptoms of a heart attack, but not many know the symptoms of a brain tumor, so we dismiss the head ache as a migraine, the back ache as poor shoes. A friend might tell us it is the lights at work, or our belt is too tight. A doctor will examine us and discover the problem. Self diagnosing this kind of problem just doesn't work. I picked on Chicago, but we have a host of inner cities and even smaller towns where fathers are extinct. When I graduated high school, we didn't have any single parent kids in my class. The classes we have today are full of kids who have not had dinner with dad in ages. Maybe you don't believe in GOD, but I do. He designed the family unit to include two parents. Our society is a product of our failure to heed GOD's plans for us.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
