People will just keep putting up with all of this outrageous flouting of our values because they are spoiled and self centered. As long as the television is on and the fast food joints are open, they are going to just keep taking whatever the liberal extremists, the government, and the culture of death dishes out.

The fact that they murdered Terri in broad daylight was proof enough to me that the people in this country won't rise up until its way too late.

There should have been half a million people outside that hospice...but that would have meant that a half a million people would have had to give up a few dollars and miss the latest round of friends reruns...and that aint gonna happen in this country.

I know that there are still people in our society who are willing to stand up and do what's right. I met many such people at Woodside, but I just don't think there are enough us left to bring this country back to its senses.

Whenever I get that kind of glums, I turn to this little essay by A. J. Nock. This was written in 1937 and it's still doing its job. Happily, it is posted on many web sites.

Isaiah's Job -- antidote to the ideological blues

I thought as I was driving down to Florida many of the cars passing me on the way were rushing to the same place and it would get too crowded to move around there. How is that for naive optimism?

Could hardly believe my eyes to arrive in the evening and find five people there! Where was the rest of the world?

But take heart as T'wit points out. I try to maintain optimism that the Sleeping Giant will stir before it is too late. Like Gulliver, he may be tied down by fine lines and lies but may bust free before it is too late. Sure hope so. Time is a'wasting. Poor Scott is next on the docket.
