mdehnersIs my like of distress at the thought of an EOTWAWKI event. I mean, when I was a yung'n, I marched against War, Bigotry, Disease, etc. Now, I've turned into the old Poop that's ready for the Regin to push "Reset"....
I guess part of it is that I've a lot of friends who have kids college age and having to "deal" with the consequences of them being more friend than parent. After all, a friend helps you out, a parent teaches you to do it yourself....or is supposed to. Sadly, even the best parent has to "deal" with the fact that they aren't the only influence. Truth is, things have been too good too long and combining that with parenting that's affaid of children not being Happy and Sated Emotionally and Physically 24/7....things are pretty bad. Hopefully, this Downturn will last long enough to teach them that the only thing you get from Nothing IS NOTHING....no matter what your parents pretended at you.
I really can't watch news anymore. Watching the Progressives shoot themselves down reminds me too many times of friends who thought that if you just explain why YHVH couldn't have created the world in 4004 BC that Fundys'd change their entire world-view. There's a difference between Innocence and Ignorance and watching Progressives make the same mistakes 3 decades running(that I've been Paying Attention) just gives me Gas. It doesn't "help" that some of our Progressive "religious" don't have truly any deeply held Beliefs. I certainly can't see any of them that would be Willing to Die for their Spiritual Beliefs, something our Opposition would have no problem doing so. Truth is that this is one of the areas where the JCI Beleivers tend to Ignore those in the West of Alt Religions BECAUSE they consider it a Sign that we really don't Beleive what we say. What I've always got a "kick" out of is the "outrage" that some folks get about how the Ancestors "abandoned" the God/desses, yet most of them wouldn't even declare themselves a _____ in a Progressive city. For them to look down on their Ancestors when they themselves are so Cowardly......

Pat
