In light of recent events, I strongly believe that if there was a stronger presence of religion regardless of specific deity, that perhaps many acts of evil may have been avoided. There seems to be a trend in society as a whole that significantly strays from what is morally acceptable. Although there maybe many reasons for this trend I believe that acts of evil can be mitigated or completed avoided. Many trouble youths lash out in such horrific ways simply because they do not have any structure to turn to. We have forgotten that this country was founded on Judeo christian values. Our country suffers from more than an economic crisis we suffer from a spiritual crisis. One suggestion, for all teachers and children to say a prayer before they start their school day.
