Good points! Evil is gaining on us, and is now called good, and good is called evil. I think I have read somewhere it would be this way!

Like spread disease, molest kids, jack up health costs, hate straights, etc?
Is that what 'corn bores' do? I've
never heard of corn bores before.

I went to see a fireworks show on July fourth. No patriotic music or words, just twenty minutes of moderately interesting visual pyrotechnics. No one seemed to mind. Masses of people thought nothing of building their day around the fireworks, bringing barbeque, drink, and children, and enduring major traffic, crowds, and weary legs. For what, exactly?Another interesting thread; similar topic; quote from 1st paragraph below
A 2001 Colonial Williamsburg Foundation study revealed that a quarter of American teenagers didn't know what Independence Day is supposed to celebrate.

"Thanks for the poem...I remember it from some far recess in my mind."You're welcome. And it comes from the rarest of creatures: a poetry-spouting engineer!
=====================
Imagine my feelings when I happened to listen to the old Quicksilver Messenger Service song, "Pride of Man" just after 9/11/2001:
And it shall cause your tower to fall
Make of you a pyre of flame
O you who dwell on many waters,
Rich in fortune, wide in fame
All those who place their faith in fire
In fire that faith shall be repaid...
--Boris

Relative of me? I don't write

but thanks anyway.

Tolerance for evil is clearly something we can no longer afford to tolerate.
To tolerate evil makes one just as guilty as the doer of evil. It is evil to tolerate evil.

"We waited fifty years go be in the majority. We will wait fifty more years looking for a man who has a clue what to do with it." Succint, true, and really discouraging. The only question is whether the raging winds of socialism will die out before we reach the point of no return. :<

Indeed, talking does nothing to prevent evil. Thanks for the heads up!
