We have let our fellow man down.

About the young man that got caught with downloading porn.

I say, praise God, I hope and pray that he will get help now!

However, we should as individuals and citizens stand up against this industry.

It did not all start with the porn movies for this young man. It started with a progressive wanting of more sex-related items to see and read.

We are all so conditioned and don’t examine the little things around us that are the contributors to such a behavior.

Take a good look next time you go to the checkout stand, the magazines that are present as we buy our food. The stores are contributing to a behavior that has become prevalent.

I do not have to tell you to examine the TV and the movies that are out there.

Everywhere we look sex is a way of selling goods.

So do not put the “for shame” finger on this young man. I challenge you all to examine yourselves and say shame on me for letting this happen in our society. Stand up, make a difference, speak out and ask the movie industry, the magazine editors, Internet sites, etc. to stop corrupting our society with flashing porn and sex in front of us every time we turn on the TV and watch a movie or open a magazine.

Enough is enough.

Join onemillionmoms.com a group to help the exploitation of our children. We write and contact these industries and get results.
