Random thought shook out

Gaia repeatedly quakes in her bowels and stomps her feet since Obama took over the Oval Office.

America is dumbing down so nicely that she can’t stop the downward spiral. Indians and ‘foreigners’ again have taken over the national spelling bee.

My husband’s computer apparently needs to be treated like a special needs child who gets ‘sick’ often, catches viruses and warrants constant attention. Day and night things go wrong.

America’s moral slough to Gomorrah continues. A woman twitters an abortion and is praised.

Commenting on the theme of a play staged after World War I in Paris called “Le Retour,” a writer notes that “All values have gone down 50%. The natural importance of a woman in a man’s life decreases in proportion.” Last time I awoke in the morning, I noticed that it is not 1918 but 2010. Our moral culture disrespects the importance of the relationship between women and men.

The French have a saying that “assuredly capital punishment should be abolished, but not until the assassins have set he example.” I agree.

In 1927, a writer about Russia’s revolution said that the “history of mankind is mainly a record of a race between education and catastrophe.” Is this where we are headed due to the fact that our country’s most expensive commodity is ignorance?

Law courts are the last refuge of free men. If they become virtual branches of the Administration, we are lost. Are we lost?

Author Edmund Walsh said that Russia’s “immoral sadness was exalted into a religious destiny” i.e. eventual revolution. He also posits that the Russian revolution was a failure to create in the minds of the people a “consciousness of common destiny.” Are we marching to this point in our history? No doubt, two Americas do exist, there’s little common ground; it’s us small government, free market, moral conservatives vs. them, progressives. What’s common in our national consciousness is the agreement to disagree about the future of America.
