The Laws of God: Heil the New Hitler

One of the questions NEVЯLAND forces us to confront is our sense of morality and ethics and what we teach our Children.

Children are clean slates upon which society writes its rules as well as a sense of right and wrong.

What we do today to our Children just doesn't echo into the future--it CREATES the future.

Children become what they see, hear, and learn at home and then at school and from their friends, and especially from the media.

From Grimms' "The Raven" through today's headlines of young racist and child suicide bombers, Children are the battleground for the next generation's sense of Right and Wrong.

Today's ongoing battles for the hearts and minds of our children are fought in our schools, our political arenas, our churches/synagogues/mosques/temples, and our homes. From sexual orientation to political correctness to fascism to conservatism to libertarianism to progressive-ism. . . .Who's Right? Who's Wrong?

Is it any wonder our Children prefer to get lost in the virtual world of Internet chat rooms and video gaming when the Adults of this world appear to simply not have a clue as to what the Hell they are doing?

Whose vision of Humanity is to prevail?

So, what happens when all the jaded lessons of the Adults are stripped away?

What will Children, unfettered by the fears, prejudices, and shortcomings of Adult angst and bias, decide is the ultimate Right and Wrong, the Rules of the Universe, the Laws of God?

In Lord of the Flies, we get a horrifying glimpse of a world ruled by Children--of savagery, of chaos, of injustice, of hopelessness.

But in the end, Adults show up to restore order.

What if the Adults were never to return, to show up and to save the day?

What if Children, despite their initial childish joy of being free from Adults, realize to their great horror that no Adult will miraculously appear in the nick-of-time and make everything all right again.

Would not a strong leader have to prevail? Would not a Tyrant have to arise to ensure that Law and Order are instituted and maintained if the Children are to survive?

Would not another Stalin, another Pol Pot, another Augustus Caesar, another Hitler, a child Louis Farrakhan emerge to ensure Order and Survival--even among children?

Do really think that Children, nurtured by the prejudices, biases, and shortcomings of their Parents, are really going to join hands, sing "Kumbaya", and everyone will just "get along"?

Do you really think that?

NEVЯLAND doesn't pretend to be easy or soft.

The truth never is.

Take care,
