Who is responsible for rise in violence?

Gun-grabbers Inc., in the personage of Rod Blagojevich, Richard Daley and Arne Duncan, find it easier to blame inanimate objects for murders rather than placing the blame where it really belongs.

The decay of our moral values as exemplified by the lessening of the value of human life should be laid at the feet of our government school system.

It continues to teach the long-ago disproved and debunked theory of evolution that makes man to be no more than the descendant of a blob of garbage with no real value, rather than the creation of a sovereign God having infinite worth.

The government school system also continues to promote abortion on demand. The murdering of human life in the womb for convenience sake cheapens the value of all human life.

It is not a stretch to see that when human life is so devalued by the government school system, the outcome will be that all human life is worthless and can be taken at whim.

The Daily Herald reported an incident of a plot to attack a teacher in a government school in Georgia by a whole group of third graders.

These children's weapons of choice were a crystal paperweight and a broken steak knife. Should we blame paperweights and broken steak knives for their plot?
