Our laws are not necessarily soft, but our punishment is. The real problem we have is probably more than fifty percent of our population is living in a way that should be unlawful. From men not being dads to their kids, moms trying to be dads, to kids who grow up not respecting others because they have no respectable role model in their house. Then there is the American school system that perpetuates the disrespect of others by promoting the idea of self esteem rather than teaching them to realize their faults, and try to improve themselves. We live in a society of takers not givers. People blindly follow wherever the free food is. Most people think the truth is a lie and a lie is the truth. We are full of blind guides! I share in this as well, because I've turned my head and let things go, so I could have my piece if the pie. We have gotten off the foundation that made us great. It's not republicans, democrats. libertarians, presidents, senators , or any politician or political party. It is the Truth of God!! Every kingdom not built on that will fall with a great crash!!
