What I think about America

                                     By Stefan Baciu

America is a great country, or so everyone says.. I don't like cliches, so I'm gonna change it up a bit. America used to be a great country. It was a place where people could come and fulfill their dreams, they could start their own business, teach their children the way they wanted to, and live peacfully for the rest of their lives. Many people have belived in this country and have fought  to keep it alive. If one of those heroes rose up out of their grave to see what it has become, I don't think they would like it very much..  America has been spiraling downwards very quickly. Man has been getting furthur and further away from God, it infuriates me that the accepted hypothesis for the creation of the universe is the Big Bang. Schools these days don't even want to introduce the idea of an inteligent creation! In the early days of America everyone went to Church on Sundays, everyone said their prayers at night and morning. They were protected and helped by God, thats why they went on to create the steam engine, light bulb, and other very important inventions. Without his guidence people went on to find out about drugs, and other nasty things. The generation of today is getting its creativity crushed by video games and Iphones. The only thing they'd be able to invent in the future, is different types of better drugs. Many people are depressed when they see the next generation of this country, people have died in horrible wars to uphold America, and most kids of today only care about getting to the next level on a game.

If we keep going like this, America is bound to fall to its grave, just like all the heroes that have died for it, there are some kids that restore the faith in humanity in people, we need more of those kids, and that implies parents as well! Most parents these days just throw their kids into public schools and follow their own career, even though those people think they care, they don't. Caring about a child means that you actually have to stay with him or her, YOU have to teach him how to survive in this world, not some unkown, untrusted teacher. Do you really think teachers care about your kids?

I don't want America to become another North Korea, or Syria, because if we keep going on this path we will eventually reach it. I think the only way to stop this is to go to Church, belive in Christ and let Him guide us.
