And so do a lot of people living in our modern times. But I try not to pay attention to that.
A few things I do pay attention to:
-- Those looking at Revelation in the New Testament as a clear play-by-play of how the "end times" are going to come about should really, really be careful in separating those who ask us to humble ourselves and repent and try as hard as we can to get along from those who look at Armageddon and think, "How can I actively make that come to pass?"
What was it he said that got everyone so upset?
Be kind to each other.
Oh yeah. That'll do it.
We seemed to have stepped back from the brink this week. But only just, and our Dear Leaders are still dancing on the edge of the precipice. Kinda like this:
Grab a fence post, hold it tight,
Whomp your partner will all your might.
Hit him in the chin, hit him in the head,
Hit him again that critter ain't dead.
Whomp him low and whomp him high,
Stick your finger in his eye.
Pretty little rhythm, pretty little sound,
Bang your heads against the ground.
So where was I? I was at home, washing my tights.
Because talking to our representatives does nothing. They're so deep inside the machine now they don't really listen to us unless we're echoing what they're already thinking. I wish that was cynicism talking, but it's reality.
