What's wrong with the world, well here's my opinion.

We refuse to treat each other with complete humility, dignity and love; which we ought to since we were all created by God and are made in His image. We kill babies in the womb and say, "that's ok". We terminate our elderly and infirm and say "that' ok". We misuse our own bodies by doing drugs and treating sex like entertainment and say "that's ok". We diminish the value of a human person and human life to such a low level, that our more grotesque natures can become dominant in those of us who are weak. And then we vilify that person - but why, given the above, wasn't what he did "ok"?

Obviously the question is rhetorical. I'm not trying to start a flame fest. This is just the way I see things (in a simplified form).

Maybe the better question is, what isn't wrong in the world?

What stops the downward slide of society? We have a lot of international folks on the boards. Are they seeing the same loss of values around their neck of the woods? I know America is having a hard time defineing itself in this world where it is ok to kill unborn babies and Terry Shiebo(sp). But not ok to kill someone who breaks into your house....


I never really believed in a "god". But if there is one, you think he would be about to tell someone to build an ark.

I have BEEN on the job about 7 minutes from the school at Red Lake Ford installing network drops and a server about 4 months ago - that is SCARY to know that I was that close to something like that

He told me the other day, I'm building one now. Damn, it sure is hard to find two of each kind.
