To the Editor:
In a recent interview with a
mother of a local teenage boy, I
was asked, ‘Can I really do any
thing to control my boy? The
other day he said to me. ‘You’d
better be careful, Mom. We kids
have a lot of power and we are
in the majority’.”
Now of concern in the heat of
this kind of family disagreement,
much more was said, but that is
beside the point
What causes wonder and worry
to me as a parent and as a law
enforcement officer is why did
we as parents, educators and com
munity leaders allow this miscon
ception to become instilled in the
minds of our young people.
Has there been too much em
phasis in our schools on modem
problems and modern history?
Are we as parents, teachers and
leaders being psyched out of our
guidance roles by the constant
reminder, “Overlook it; you were
once young too?"
Do we spend too much time in
self-interest because of the speed
of living today, such as keeping
up with the Jones’, listening to
the prophesiers of doom or living
beyond our economic capabilities?
Let’s evaluate young people un
der 25 years of age and those
over 25 of today, compared with
those between 100 and 5000 years
ago.
History and the sciences tell us
that we today live many years
longer than our forefathers did.
So if we remember and teach
past history’, the facts will show
that our youth is actually declin
ing in numbers to people over 25
today.
To those who choose not to be
lieve the textbooks of history, let
them use some simple mathe
matics. Most of us have read or
been taught something of the rise
and fall of the Roman empire.
I would say to all, read a lit
tle more on this and in so doing
take time to find out the ages of
