8 catastrophes we should be worried about

There sure is a lot of talk about how "global warming" is about to destroy the planet! And how, if we don't stop driving our SUVs-and go back to living by candlelight-we'll all be dead within the next 20 years. (Just ask your children; that's what they probably already believe.)But I'd like to propose that there are much worse catastrophes we really should be worried about. Here is my list of the Top 8:
Catastrophe No. 1 – Parents who abdicate their responsibilities
It's stunning to me how few children ever do their homework. What are parents thinking? Don't they know that doing your homework and getting good grades is a valid indicator of future success and happiness? Why do so many parents allow their children to watch so much TV, dress like thugs, disrespect their teachers (and the parents, themselves) and swear so vulgarly? And why do they drive them all over town to play multiple sports … when most haven't read a single book in the past year? No TV during the week; sit-down meals at home with Mom and Dad to discuss what's going on in each other's lives; more focus on reading, homework and family than on TV, sports, and the Internet; a little "leadership" to keep children away from bad influences and the wrong crowd would all do wonders to help reverse this national catastrophe.
