While perusing the latest list of Free Republic Forum links I realized how often they reveal some insightful – albeit depressing – truths about our contemporary society, especially if you just juggle the headlines around a bit. A brief page-scroll offers up a sort of cultural snapshot, providing a quick picture of present-day life in America and beyond. (And it’s usually not pretty.)

  Take yesterday for instance…

As western civilization turns its collective back on God, we get news like this ~

this ~

and this ~

The meta data of the headlines can be a bit depressing; punctuated by the occasional light segment featuring moose, or perhaps an interesting scientific achievement; but I suppose much of history has been like this. A thin gruel with the ocational raisin.
