The Western world is opposing an aggressor nation, energy producers have economically drubbed the world, our nation’s legislative process is descending into a three or four sided polemic morass. Fundamental goods and services have been put out of reach for many Americans. Within this disturbing and difficult daily coping test we have countless political and notoriety-chasing prophets of our counties demise speaking to a laundry list of their personal hatreds and spewing vitriolic sound bites.
You will also see a collision of church and state reminiscent of the flight to the North American colonies caused by the religious practices then forced on the European and Middle Eastern people. Many times in history the social momentum of a society was redirected , even misdirected, to the detriment of the people in the long run.
What is popularly embraced in the beginning of such cycles, is considered despotic by the end of that politically motivated miscreation. The need for we citizens and our representatives to cooperate and rely upon each other is tested mightily. The time has come again.
It would seem we have a true test coming by way of our inability to blend often disparate individual religious philosophies into a national democratic non-partisan workflow that benefits the masses rather than a few successful lobbyists and PACs.
