No Landia Debaters

It was great hearing the High School Debaters at No Landia. Young people were debating topics such as "Whether to Withdraw from the Golan Heights", "Whether to allow the importation of Pharmaceuticals from Foreign Countries" and "Whether to abolish the Security Council of the United Nations."

These young people had put much time into researching and preparing for these debates.

It looks like our country still has some hope-not because of electing the right people-but because we still have young people that are growing mentally.

Every organization is in a process of decay, with bright lights being snuffed out through age and decay. At the same time there is the growth of new leadership and new great minds. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we saw the advantages of training the young for the leadership of tomorrow.

My hat is off to those young people who are in the process of training themselves, and to those parents and teachers who are involved in that training, who take it seriously and who invest themselves in the leaders of tomorrow-whether it be through debate, scouts, FFA, our schools and our churches.

What if our country were to make it a priority to train the young instead of to provide comfort for the mature. How would we be different. I wonder????
