Ah… but, the principles remain the same.
Smaller government.
Protect & defend the country & the people.
Rights are God-given, not government-given. Government only recognizes & maintains the environment of rights.
Federal Government doesn’t need to be the big boss over everything. States speak for themselves, on many topics.
Government is not Mommy, Daddy, Nanny.
Freedom & liberties to the people, who are the bosses of the politicians.
Politicians should get involved for a time, then move on. Term limits are needed
Wow… great comment. Well thought-out, articulate… & here I assumed that most high schoolers are lost. Not you.
Back when I was growing up, my parents knew that we would indulge in things, as curious young adults. They cautioned us, but knew all about peer pressure and curiosity. So they warned us about the negative aspects of alcohol and pot. But they put the fear of God in us, regarding more dangerous drugs – – among them, heroin. The warning was that, if you do it one time = you’re hooked — you may never get your life back. My sister and I heeded those warnings. Even though we dabbled in some substances, we stayed way clear of others. I think that’s how it is with crack, and many of the poisonous fabricated drugs, like fentanyl and designer drugs, concocted out of chemicals and chemicals, and more chemicals.
I believe alcohol is one of the worst substances affecting all of society. Alcohol ruins many brains; careers; relationships; families; and entire lives. I liked drinking alcohol between the ages of 16 until age 40. Not as an alcoholic, but for sure, overdoing it on some weekends. I have found that life is much better without alcohol. I wish that I had never started with alcohol.
Perhaps the best revelation one makes: you don’t have to be a SLAVE to ANYTHING. Be it alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, work, sex, TV, pornography, money, status…
Commit yourself to not becoming a slave to anything. Except God.
