I have earned a PhD. in the School of Hard Knocks... So I feel that qualifies me to comment on culture, or lack of. I have observed that it is difficult to find real sobriety, meaning intellectual sobriety, in our Country today. Every thing is a "joke", no procedural decorum in the media, no social Robert’s Rules™, in general or in elected politicians. We have a governor in New York who has freely admitted illegal drug use and multiple affairs, ad nauseum. In Michigan, our governor is trying to ban Smoking, but supports Partial Birth Abortion, and has vowed to VETO a BAN on Partial Birth Abortion? Where is the logic in that? These are Human Beings, being ripped apart.What if it were Your Head Being Crushed? Pure Nazism. I would wager to say that even ten years ago, politicians like this would have been recalled or voted out of office. Everyone is so morally compromised, no one will stand up publicly for what is right. Everyone knows that many conservatives are Cowards. The Teachers and their Unions know this. The NEA hosted a feminist conference that honored Dr. Tiller, a Late Term Abortionist, with a standing ovation, at the NEAs Headquarters this year. Conservatives will not defend their children from intellectual sexual penetration, cannibalization, indoctrination in the schools. When you cow tow to Bullies, they Get Stronger, and Push Harder. Americans have Lowered and Doubled Their Standards. I submit a Recipe for Disaster:
No Blaspheme Intended: If The Bible Were a Cookbook (Which it is Not!!) and If you were to put The Word into culinary context, which I would Not, some may still find It Unpalatable. (They know who they are.) But just for the sake of cranial expansion, let us, like yeast, Expand. If Moses were a Master Chef (and in a way he was) and The Mount represented the World’s Foremost Culinary Institute, then it would appear that God gave Moses the Ultimate Recipe for Societal Success. The Ten Commandments. Ten pretty basic rules, a Recipe, if you will, that greatly helps large numbers of divergent peoples to get along, give Glory to God, raise families, respect their neighbors, honor their families and marriages, you know, basically keep the Whole World humming along. Because in 2008 A.D., most people either choose not to, or cannot follow the Ten Commandments, there is a lot of social dysfunction. And Hate. Hate begets Hate. Love begets Love. And the true “victims” are the very young children, who are viewed as targets for educational indoctrination, mass marketing, custody battles, etc. and as objects as in: “I want a kid.” Like, “I want a Coach™ purse.” If you are a discerning, or thinking person, you realize at some level The Recipe has been Ruined, and that We collectively, through commission and omission, ruined it, and now it will take years of remediation, and mental mopping up to try to salvage an entire generation. If it even can be done. When you work with a recipe, it is essential to follow every step, every ingredient in the right sequence. Otherwise you can end up with a wall-to-wall disaster in your kitchen. Sum Total: God gave us The Recipe. The Ultimate Master Chef. We did not follow directions. We reap “measure for measure” the results. Essentially, our collective “buns are on fire.” Many believe “the cooking class” does not end here. In this life. For the sake of the Chefs everywhere, large and small, who tried very hard to get it Right, I hope not. I hope everything Good does not go down the drain, or into flames…
