Finally, let's take our case for mental dis-
cipline all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The deci-
sion ... by the late Justice Cardozo: "We are what we
believe we are." To believe deeply and constantly requires
mental discipline. Case closed.
Probably it is in the field of morals that the
persuaders of permissiveness have most deeply damaged
humanity. Their reasoning is so subtle and their teaching
so appealing: "Be free! Turn on and do whatever you
want to dol Tune out and ignore whatever you do not want
to do! Disregard any moral discipline which limits your
lust. Disobey any law with which you do not agree. Moral
permissiveness will set you freel"
Yes, permissiveness will make you free-as free
as a truck loaded with explosives free-wheeling down a
steep, winding mountain road... without brakes!
And permissiveness will do something else
for you. Permissiveness-physical, mental and moral per-
missiveness-wal make you a SLOB!
