    If children do not get taught morality at home because their parents don't understand it, who is going to give them the means to survive emotionally and the building bricks to contribute to the society they live in and respect the rules for it to continue?

    If those bankers and hedge fund managers had a grain of "conscience" they would not have risked their own country in pursuit of personal wealth. This aspect of the economic meltdown is the most shocking, and we still do not know the extent of the moral poverty in our government.

    Our children are our future and we owe it to them to find out why we are so morally bankrupt in this country now.
    I agree good post.

    Think about the question, I've underlined the two words that make the question, to say the least, strange for what is one if not the other ?
    "That government is best which governs least."
    "This is a sharp Medicine, but it is a Physician for all diseases and miseries".
    "To be "matter of fact" about the world is to blunder into fantasy --and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful."

    I thought that might be the case - never mind

    FWIWIMHO the state should not fund any faith schools
