If everyone were like you we would NOT be in this mess because not one of us would have dreamed up the deadly CRA that the media refuses to talk about. What a nightmare!

The problem is that too many lack fortitude and follow through. Everybody wants real and serious problems taken care of, but they want it to be clean and unoffensive. They don't want to get their hands dirty doing it. They think somebody else should do it. They believe in sacrificing liberty for security (a sin in my opinion), even when the security is proven time and time again to be a false security at best! A good example is the current mindset across most of our society about crime. I'm not talking about how we think. We've already established that we're different. Most people admit that the state of the world as we know it right now isn't exactly what we'd call optimal. People are evil at their core, and especially so without the presence of God in their lives. Most people think that the police get paid to protect them personally from criminals...and they're good with thinking this!...in SPITE of the facts! They want the police, and the military, and others who are sanctioned to simply take care of the problem. But they don't really want the criminal to be hurt either. After all, they're people too. :-) Just because the really bad criminals rape children and cut them into pieces afterwards, or drown them, or kill them in any number of other methods doesn't mean we should just kill them!...right? After all, don't they have RIGHTS too?!....or so they ask!

The illustration I just used is a small and basic illustration that most can relate to. But there is an unknown quantity of people here in America like myself who periodically pop up and interject things into this realm. We don't really belong here, and we're not even comfortable here. We don't believe in compromise, we love the truth. We disregard immoral laws, and speak out against them. We believe in an absolute right, and an absolute wrong. We believe that not only is capitalism good, but that we should have PERMANENTLY planted the U.S. flag on Iraqi soil after the invasion and then hosted the Israeli Air Force to make it easier to help them convert portions of Iran and Syria into glass parking lots! We believe that Cuba should have been OWNED by the U.S. years ago, and that we should have killed Hugo Chavez several years back. I could go on and on with my "list" but I think you understand. People think I'm joking about these things, but I'm not. We trust in a God that can't be seen, but who's presence is well known by us and although we're immensely frustrated by this world, we know that God has a plan and that we are to WITHHOLD from doing the harm required to fix the problems we've been talking about. If our leaders weren't so blind and ignorant, they would be grateful for this. But they simply don't have it in them right now, and we try hard not to take it personally. :-)

I'm flattered by what you say, but truly....nobody wants people like me in charge...Not in this age anyway.:-)
