With society becoming more and more barbaric as cities encroach upon the “unincorporated” zones of society. I have seen the gang mentality and signs of recreation drug use in my community increase with the increase of the population in my area. My valley was never one to gloat about its moral values it was once referred to as “the valley of the drunks”, but with the increase of people and the “me/mine” mentality it becomes harder every day to share my thoughts with others outside my home without fear of what might happen.

I have thought about the situation over the years and come to the conclusion that when I was a child my parents introduced me to after school activities, such as Boy Scouts, the 4-H, and several community projects through the local hospital and churches. If the young people of today were to be assigned such projects and given responsibility/accountability for their actions, I believe that a lot of the problems in our society would be resolved quickly.

For the older adolescents, the Sheriff has the Explorers program and I believe that in the worlds state of affairs today it would serve our country well if we were to reintroduce a two year draft on anyone that was 18-21 years of age, once they had graduated from high school. Upon serving the two years, they would have job training and a recommendation from a commanding officer for the university or trade school of their choice. This would keep our kids physically fit, off the streets, and provide them with a good education. I know I speak as a citizen for the United States, but these are just a few of my own private thoughts on the subject.

If I have offended anyone, it is unintentional.
