Hollywood Morals and Sex Molestation

Greetings to all;

     Just when I thought I have seen it all, and thought that society could not sink any lower, Hollywood comes along to prove me wrong.

     I was sitting nice and comfortable in my living room, watching the evening news on the Fox News Channel, thinking about how great it is to have four more years to get some morality back into our society, when a new item about a new movie coming out of Hollywood, titled "BIRTH", Staring Nichole Kiddman.

      According to the news report about the movie, it is about a woman's (Kiddman) dead husband who comes back to life as a 10 year old boy, isn't that wonderful? In the movie, there is a scene where the boy gets undressed and climbs into a bathtub, where a naked Nichole awaits him. In another scene, Nichole and the boy share an open mouth kiss. And, in still another scene, Nichole asks the boy if he has ever had sex with a girl.

       Just what kind of message does this movie send to the child molesters in our country? Just last week, in one of our eastern States, a thirty-some year old woman (a mother of an eight year old daughter) was arrested for having sexual intercourse with an eight year old boy (a playmate of her daughter). Her explanation was that she was fantasying that the child was her boyfriend and that they were deeply in love (perhaps she saw the movie "BIRTH"). But, what really shocked me, was on the Fox News Channel, they said that a National Child Protection group was asked what they thought of this movie, and their answer was: "We don't feel that it is our place to make any judgments or statements about the movie." Wonderful, then just whose place is it?

      Just where is all this depravity and immorality going to end? We as a nation, along with the rest of the world have lost all respect for human life, look at the number of abortions and the number of cases of euthanasia being committed around the world. We have lost all repsect for our children, again, one only needs to look at the number of abortions, and look at the number of children being sold into sex-slavery arond the world and even here in the good old USA. I can go on, but I think you get the picture. The problem is, just what can we do about all this? We pray, we preach out against all this, but nothing seems to change. Excuse me, my mistake. Things do change, for the worst.
