That philosophy is encapsulated in two words: CRIME PAYS. There was a time when the opposite philosophy was prevalent – that crime did not pay. But not any more. Whether it is politicians, judges, jihadists, or felons, what we are seeing is that they have all benefited from lawlessness and dereliction of duty. All of this is sending a clear message to young people (and everyone else) that crime pays. The POTUS is a prime example, Hillary Clinton another good example, and the list goes on. Catch and release of criminals, giving voting rights to felons, protecting terrorists and releasing terrorists, encouraging migrant invasions which lead to more crimes against innocents, paying billions of dollars to those who enjoy murder and mayhem while ignoring their victims, even giving terrorists an insight into airport security so that they can flourish in their evil deeds! There are many psalms in which the psalmist asks God why evildoers flourish while the righteous suffer. The consistent answer is that once God sits in judgment over the unrighteous, they will realize that crime does not pay. And by then it will be too late to make amends.

Broke into our front offices and took money only, did not take credit cards or checks. It is a common event. It is truly a sad state of affairs. Younger people don't see the changes that we old timers (well I am one) have seen. At it will continue to change. I guess we are in free fall, one day we will hit bottom and not sure we will be able to recover. Hope I am wrong. Things are changing so fast that every five years is what 20 or more years were in the past. I pray,hope and just get through each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
