This is a news story that isn’t. You have all seen the footage of the angry violent people in the streets calling for love and concerned about the anger and violence. It is kind of like public schools talking about high standards and rigor as they dumb down the vocabulary in the books they are still buying.
If you are a parent or an observant human being you have seen this before. I saw it when my son was 13 and wanted to get a lawyer so he could divorce the family. The cause? I think it was requiring him to clean up his room.
Let me make some guesses about the “masses” in the street. 90% had EBT cards. 90% did not have full time jobs. 90% do not pay any income tax. 75% are still living with Mommy and complaining when the refrigerator doesn’t have the craft beer they like. (The number is lower than 90% because some mommies have gotten fed up and thrown the snowflakes out.) 99% went to public school where they were promoted without knowing anything. 90% have received a trophy for participation. 90% did not bother to vote. 99% have cell phones while 10% own cars. 90% need a shave, face or legs.
You get the point.
Some of the “crowds” had fewer people in them than the line at the DMV or the ladies restroom at Disneyland. Most of the crowds were anchored by people paid to be there. Let us get a life, stop watching the networks and move on.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Yep, I will gladly ignore them unless they block the road and yank me or my loved ones out of a car to beat me up because I look like I might have voted for Trump.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely not suggest rolling down your window and trying to reason with them.
