The things we try to teach our children versus what they see in the government and media.

In my opinion, I do not believe people should be verbally attacking others. I do not believe that Democrats should be attacking Republicans, or that Republicans should be attacking Democrats.

Each person is entitled to their own opinion, and should not be verbally bashed for it.

I do not believe that News Channels, Magazines, and other media should report false information, false accusations, or show biased opinions and partiality.

Many seem to be over stepping the laws of ‘Free Speech.’ I expect to see some near future lawsuits due to this.

I do not believe the Presidential Nominees should be speaking ill of one another or talking about one in a negative fashion – especially in the public eye.

What does that tell us, the public, when the person(s) who want to lead our Country can not even act mature?

Do we not teach our children to be nice to others and not to fight? Do we not teach them to not instigate, not speak ill of others, not start rumors and not lie, because it isn’t nice or good?

Starting rumors, lies, belittling the competition, and poking fun at the entire opposing party is not a way to get more votes. In reality, it just goes to show how immature some people can be.

Instilling good morals and values in our children can already be tough enough at times. We do not need the Government, nor the media, making it more difficult on us.

Our children see this type of behavior on a daily basis on television, in magazines, in schools, and in their communities. They see this behavior is also acceptable and not punishable.

And who will we have to thank when our hard work and good parenting skills have failed us in the long run? But, do you think they will accept the blame? No. They will place the blame on Nintendo games and rap/rock music.
