Today I’m thinking our society just keeps coming up with new examples to show that morally we are on a downhill course.  What are we going to do – what can we do to instill some values in the generations to come?  If we could return to some common courtesies that would be great, but that seems far too difficult for some to grasp.

Have you ever heard of someone stepping on another person’s shoe and it causing a dispute?  I’ve heard of people losing their life for something as small as this.  Back in the good old days a simple “Excuse me” would be good enough to forget/forgive about something like this, but now it seems as if stepping on someone’s toe is a capital offense.  The whole thing is stupid because who would do this on purpose?

I used to live in a popular west coast city and one night I was out at a club when an incident similar to this occurred.  A young lady I was talking too was bumped into by a guy.  Notice I said he bumped into her.  Anyway, the guy got very upset and was blaming the young lady for this.  Well, I came to find out this guy was a pimp and he thought he was above this happening to him.  I’m not saying he was a guy who was a lady’s man or anything like this – he was a pimp for real.  Can you believe he caused the action but thought it was her fault?  This guy must have had some serious juice because they told the young lady it would be best if she left the club instead of telling him to leave.

Remember when a simple punch would solve most problems?  I’m not advocating violence, but some people quickly take things to the next level.  Forget about normal fist fights because that seems to be a thing of the past and I can kind of understand why.  Why fight someone and possibly win when their next move will likely be to go get a gun?  That is exactly was a 4-year-old in Jackson Ohio did when his baby sitter stepped on his toe.  Did I mention the child was 4 and the baby sitter stepped on his toe accidentally?  Amazing.

I don’t know about you, but I would rather not be involved in any gun play for accidentally stepping on someone’s toe.  That just doesn’t seem like a way I possibly want to leave this earth and besides, it is downright stupid.
