“My theory is that everything went to hell with Prohibition, because it was a law nobody could obey. So the whole concept of the rule of law was corrupted at that moment. Then came Vietnam, and marijuana, which clearly shouldn't be illegal, but is. If you go to jail for ten years in Texas when you light up a joint, who are you? You're a lawbreaker. It's just like Prohibition was. When people accept breaking the law as normal, something happens to the whole society, you see?” PeopleIfsYearsWholeMomentsLightHappensLawAcceptingHellTheoryTenNormalConceptsThings HappenIllegalThat MomentJailTexasVietnamMarijuanaJointsRule Of LawProhibitionLight UpBreaking The Law Author:Orson Welles

“What happens to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What kind of a person and what kind of a society will we have twenty years hence if life can be taken so casually? It is that question, the question of our attitude, our value system, and our mind-set with regard to the nature and worth of life itself that is the central question confronting mankind. Failure to answer that question affirmatively may leave us with a hell right here on earth.” IfsYearsMindKindMayPersonsHappensEarthValuesNationsAnswersAttitudeAcceptingMoralHellTakenMankindBabyConscienceTwentiesRegardFabricConfrontingMind SetValue Systems Author:Jesse Jackson
“God brought me to Himself at about the age of 4. My parents were devout believers and my Dad was in Bible College at the time. I remember hearing the gospel in Sunday School and I talked to my Mom about it one night before bed. It was clear to me that I was a sinner and I was not going to heaven if I died without accepting Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for me. I was brought to Christ out of fear of going to hell. I didn't want to go there if I died and there was only one other choice in my mind as a 4 year old. I wanted to go to heaven. It was and is that simple.” IfsWantYearsMindAgeWantedSchoolRememberNightChoicesJesusHeavenParentChristSimpleAcceptingHellClearCollegeMomDadBedJesus ChristCrossesDiedMy DadMy MomHearingBelieverSinnerSundayOne NightSunday SchoolGoing To Heaven Author:Ben Zobrist
