O'Tink, I did not open your link...your information is typically reliable, to the best of your ability...
Here is what concerns me; I am thinking that back in the Fifties, yes the system was sick with power kinds of motives, Sparkman and such...but at that time, still viable...flexible...amenable to change and the possibility of improving access to redress, as in the FDR era after the Great Depression. However, have we now passed a point of some kind...the notion that we are no longer in a society having problems, but that we may be in a society dying...?
I am quite sure I recall you are devotional? Thus familiar with the idea that something out of harmony with the law of love cannot survive indefinitely...
That is my concern now. I am looking through US history, certainly fraught with bloody contention, is there a qualitative difference now, something that got frozen in hopelessness? Hope not...but I am worried now, and ever more glad I took that stand I did in Iowa.
