i agree... just like the chain of events in the following...

===== quote =====
Whoa! What in the world is happening with our kids today?

Let's see...I think it started when Madalyn Murray O'Hair complained that she
didn't want any prayer in our schools.

And we said, "OK."

Then someone said you had better not read the Bible in school-the Bible that
says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as
yourself.

And we said, "OK."

Remember Dr. Benjamin Spock, who said we shouldn't spank our children when they
misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might
damage their self-esteem?

And we said, "OK, we won't spank them."

Then someone said that teachers and principals better not discipline our
children when they misbehave. And our administrators said whoa, no one in this
school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any bad
publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued.

And we all said, "OK..."

Then someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if they want, and we
won't even have to tell their parents.

And we said, "That's a grand idea."

Then someone else said, let's give our sons all the condoms they want, so they
can have all the "fun" they desire, and we won't have to tell their parents.

And we said, "That's another great idea."

And then some of our top officials said that it doesn't matter what we do in
private as long as we do our jobs.

And we said, "As long as I have a job and the economy is good, it doesn't
matter to me what anyone does in private."

So now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they
don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill???

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out.

I think it has a great deal to do with "we reap what we sow".

Whoa! What a concept! Wonder where that came from???

kinda hard to come up with a recipe based on that so i think i grab one based
on the current time (again)...


MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Mary Rogers's Sourdough Biscuits
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
   0.50 c  Active Starter
   2.50 c  Flour
   1.00 tb Sugar
   2.00 ts Baking Powder
   0.25 ts Cream Of Tartar
   1.00 c  Milk
   0.33 c  Lard or Shortening
   0.75 ts Salt
   0.50 ts Baking Soda
 
  At bedtime make a batter of the half cup of starter, cup of milk, and
  1 cup of the flour.  Let set overnight if the biscuits are wanted for
  breakfast. If wanted for noon, the batter maybe mixed in the morning
  and set in a warm place to rise.  However, unless the weather is real
  warm, it is always all right to let it ferment overnight. It will get
  very light and bubbly. When ready to mix the biscuits, sift together
  the remaining cup and a half of flour and all other dry ingredients
  except the baking soda. Work in the lard or shortening with your
  fingers or a fork. Add baking soda dissolved in a little warm water
  to the sponge and then add the flour mixture. Mix into a soft dough.
  Knead lightly a few times to get in shape. Roll out to about 1/2 inch
  thickness or a little thicker,and cut with a biscuit cutter. Place
  close together in a 9 x 13-inch pan, turning to grease tops. Cover
  and set in a warm place to rise for about 45 minutes.  Bake in a 375
  degree oven for about 30 to 35 minutes.  Leftovers are good split and
  toasted in a sandwich toaster.
 
MMMMM
