Values in a Valueless Age

Thanks for the article.....not only is the kid very bright, he has fantastic cognitive skills and an uncanny writing ability. He brings up many good points he'll need in the real world.
His parents are only teaching him the principles that they learned.
But he's right....these principles are disappearing quicker than ice on a hot day.

I have to agree that rudderless con men abound; and their numbers are legion.
He'll probably grow up very jaded. Perhaps he will be able to maintain his conservative values and be an example of a trustworthy individual to many throughout his lifetime. This will be a tough thing to do as he won't be appreciated in many circles and will find many enemies.
If he makes any money, he'll attract those that will take it from him.

However, his position was noble and very encouraging.
Too bad society as a whole isn't like that.
Those "Leave it to Beaver" days are long gone.
