Doom and Gloom. Wasn’t the World supposed to blow up a few months ago and then the prediction is December 2012. Another thing, we have been talking about the end of America since around 1776. Not going to happen!!!!!

History demonstrates otherwise. Counties, cultures, and civilizations come and go, ebb and flow, reach peaks and then collapse, sometimes with startling speed. The reason we’ve been talking about it since 1776 is that collapse is inevitable, like entropy, and it is the duty of each generation to be vigilant for decay and falling away from core values and beliefs. Our vigilance has not been very good lately.

Of course, you’re right that people will remain behind. After the sack of Rome, there were Romans. When the Incans collapsed, there were still Incans. If the United States falls away, there will still be Americans. People will do what people have always done and try to survive as best they can. And a new civilization will take the place of the old. Some of us like our current culture, though, and we’re not willing to easily abandon it.

God help us.
