My take on the whole thing is in some short platitudes:

Things have to get worse before they get better.

You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette.

The phoenix will rise from the ashes, but first you need ashes.

Fact is, we are very much going the way of ancient Rome. People have made that comparison for most of my life (I’m 58), but they were perceived as clutching at straws. But no more. The parallels are obvious and hard to ignore. But I am familiar with Bible prophesy. It clearly states that before the return of Christ it will be worse in the world than any time in history.

Everybody needs to man up and realize that there have been few times in history where there was not great suffering. We’ve had a mindbogglingly long run, but the chickens are coming home to roost.

Do you want to see your future, in a fashion? Watch The Pianist. Seriously. The reasons and victims may be different, but it is the world we are living. It is the world many humans are living right now and have been living the whole time we’ve been enjoying our relatively utopian existence.

Frankly, the populations of modern western countries remind me of the “above surface” humans in the distant future in the first version of the movie, “The Time Machine”. Children in so many bad ways.

This is just the next step in a clear march we have been on for a hundred years, albeit one of the larger steps. Mankind is simply doing what he always does: self destruct.

This may really help the R’s this november, but that is really irrelevant too since they have all but removed the mask, exposing them as just the other side of the same coin.

Heads, I win, tails, you lose.

There might be an ignition point where the temperature reaches a critical stage required for a conflagration.Then again, it could all fizzle out.

The more outrageous and over the top the administration and their minions behave, the better chance that ignition point is reached.

More than half the people in the country pay no income taxes and the number is growing.
More than half the country get some kind of government benefit and the number is growing.
Do most of those people care about whether Health Care is a tax or a mandate? If they are dependent on government will they vote to shrink it's size and endanger the stuff they get for free?
We shall see.
