I could sum it up in one word, Accountability.

We live in a society of excuses. We have an excuse for everything someone does.

Some inconsiderate teacher stands up and spews his hate for religion and we give him the excuse he's just expressing an opinion. Some Marine slaps him down and we hand him the excuse he's doing Gods work. Where is the accountability?

That teacher should be held accountable for being inconsiderate toward believers just as that Marine should be held accountable for smacking him down. Now I know that story wasn't real but you get the point.

I can guarantee you if I ever catch some juvenile delinquent(s) painting my property I will hold him/them accountable. Personally! I'll give them what they need which is a good kick in the ass. And then I'd expect to be held accountable if I over act. In fact I hold myself responsible for holding that kid accountable.

When I was in school kids were held accountable for their actions personally. That is to say you paid for your actions yourself not your parents. If a teacher over reacted then they were held accountable.

I say we need to quit making excuses for bad behavior and hold people accountable.
