Our World Upside-Down

 




As I recall from public school, when the enormous Bristish Empire surrendered to the tiny American colonies, the English troops played a song about the world upside-down, cows eating grass, etc.

That is true today - America has let itself be turned upside-down. 

  1. Re-education camps have been manufactured all over higher education (community colleges and up).
  2. Evil, corrupt Bibles have been promoted with glee, with snarky comments coming from dolts who barely remember the Greek alphabet but claim burning leather parchment leaves can heat a library and be the "oldest Bible in history."
  3. Vast numbers of professional politicians have ignored the Constitution and overlooked massive fraud in voting.
  4. News makers inventors seem to be recovering from anesthesia while reciting the latest bulletins from Langley.
People know it is far easier to let evil develop than to oppose it. Even better is - joining the dream-world of passive entertainment and comatose smart-phone addiction.

The real issue is intellectual curiosity. Far too many people lack any desire to find out what is really going on. In the past, that came from readers, explorers, and teachers always searching for better ways to energize a new generation. The irony is that we can now put a question - even a phrase - into the computer's search window and get hundreds of answers in full color. People used to get sick after reading a typo in a Readers Digest health article. (old joke, no one under the age of 60 will laugh)

The burden of Baby Boomers is having seen the explosion of information and the misuse of it. We never knew that Paul Harvey was the last of his kind. My friends talk about how everyone in the house or car was silenced when Paul Harvey was on.
