The Community Safety Initiative

I do not have the time for an exhaustive explanation of my opposition to this "new tax" but I would like to dedicate a few lines if I might.

Is it possible that by creating an "Early Childhood Development Center" we will over time lower the crime rate? Yes, there even appears to be studies and statistics to lead one to believe that is exactly what will happen.

As a conservative this is a difficult thing to argue against however values, what a person says they believe in and then what they really live are the only real criteria by which we can measure integrity.

My beliefs political and spiritual are such that I could never give over or away Parental rights and privileges. I can appreciate that if we intervene with a Government Program we may see a downward blip in the crime rate but what we will not be able to measure is our ever increasing creep toward socialism, One more thing we have given over to an all knowing and benevolent Government that has our best interests at heart and fundamentally is far better equipped to raise children.

It is not the most contemporary of works but I urge you to read Huxley's "Brave New World". This book was written in the late 19th or early 20th century yet it is frightening how clearly he was able to see what the future would look like.

Free sex with no conscious, genetically selected children and The State raising and conditioning children so they would better fit in; be happier and more productive.

Does any of this sound familiar?

You can call me an alarmist but I am alarmed at how many freedoms we have lost and how quickly we seem to be willing to give away yet another.


See you on the radio!
