FR's concern about media bias is a focus on a symptom, not a root cause. Everyone has a bias, reflecting our foundational worldview. This nation was founded on a creationist, Christian worldview. As the secular humanist worldview came into dominance the governing system established for an outwardly Christian society inevitably became corrupted. Postmodernism is just the inevitable end result of the rejection of God.

That's why, while sharing FR's concern for media bias, I don't think the solution is to rail about the bias. Rather we need to educate ourselves, deprogramming ourselves from secular humanistic myths and brainwashing. This took me years of work personally, after a lifetime of indoctrination in government schools and media. I went from being a suicidal teen (albeit a National Merit Scholar, etc.) to a creationist and a Christian from the study of creationary and other biblical apologetics. They formed the foundation for my new, biblical worldview.

Our government today is corrupt because our society is corrupt. Men who deny God have no basis for recognizing something is "corrupt" (outside of meaningless personal opinion) unless they acknowledge a divine standard. That is what is missing in today's society. As Solzhenitsyn said, men have forgotten God. I thank God that He never forgot *me* and so richly blesses me and answers our prayers with such faithfulness as I could not have imagined!

So let us not curse the darkness, FReepers, but light candles with our own lives, and share the warmth of God's love and truth with others. Ephesians 2:8-9.

... Marathon!

Chemists do seem to have more fun at their jobs, though!

I was glad that some of my English requirements were satisfied by 'Literature of Science Fiction'.

We got to watch movies of science fiction books, read books by science fiction authors, some of which we had already read!
