What part of Arkansas do you live in? Our children can't say the pledge or pray out loud in schools here in Pine Bluff. I wish they could. It's really sad the day and time we live in. Our country was founded on the Freedom of religion being able to worship as Christians not muslims, hindus,buddhist, scientologists, The list goes on and on. We have taken God out of everything we can because His Name and his Word offends some people. Nobody worries about offending the Christians. We are all going to sin we were born with a sin nature. I don't hate or dislike anybody for their sins as well I don't want to be judged for mine. Christians aren't perfect just forgiven. Life has many choices...Eternity has two they are an eternity in Heaven with God or eternity in Hell eternally separated from God. Everyone has this choice to make. This argument can go on forever and never be settled. I believe that the United States is the best country there is to live in. I also believe that we are in great danger of becoming one of the worst. My dad fought in Vietnam (2 tours), He fought for a country that he loved and believed in. But he told me before he died that in my lifetime, I would see the United States either one be taken over and run by common people because we finally stand up and fight for our rights and win or become communist because we don't. I don't know if either will happen but I do see it changing for the worst all the time. What troubles me the most is people either suffer from ignorance or apathy. Either our citizens don't know its changing or don't care. Our country should be self sustaining and was at one time. We shouldn't be buying oil from other countries when we have our own. Our goods shouldn't be bought from foreign countries when we can produce the same items here. Our jobs are being lost and sent over seas because nobody wants to work anymore. Not everyone can make 50,000 - 100,000 dollars a year. Somebody has to work for less. everyday we are losing jobs. Guess what will eventually happen there will be no jobs at all. Which means no taxes to draw money from to GIVE to someone else. I live in South Arkansas and our paper mills and lumber mills are closing everyday. Pine Bluff was once a nice town and now is full of crime and lawlessness. I believe that its time for us to turn from our wickedness as a country and turn to God and ask him to bless this once great Nation. If you don't see things my way thats fine and I will agree to disagree. I also hope that wherever you live in Arkansas is better than it was 25 or 50 years ago but I travel all over this state and don't believe it could be.
