Is This A New Dark Age? (Morford Whine)
SFGate ^ | 03/25/05 | Mark Morford

Posted on 03/25/2005 4:43:03 AM PST by Fzob

Little proof to the contrary that we are indeed in a very long, bleak tunnel. Is there any light?

Then come those times when you read about a 16-year-old girl slashing the throat of a 75-year-old woman for no apparent reason, a woman who was merely walking with her husband near a Berkeley public garden and it's right next to the one about the 16-year-old kid smiling and waving and donning a bulletproof vest before shooting nine people and himself to death in a remote, poverty-stricken region of Minnesota and you can feel the numbness like a wave.

Do you think Miss Morford skipped history class? And spent too much time staring a candles or something.

Proof? All you have to do is spend five minutes with any true healer or energy worker or divinely connected spiritual teacher in the world right now and they all say the same thing: This is not a good time. This is not the lightest, not the brightest, not the best period to be a human being. In fact, it's one of the darkest. Fiercest. Meanest.

It is, in other words, a low period in human, and especially American, history. And it's only getting lower.

We are in dark times. Five years of economic bloodshed and three of brutal warmongering and the worst environmental president in American history and you simply cannot deny that as the ruthless American agenda goes, so goes the populace, so goes the collective attitude, the shared vibration, the health of the planet and the feeling that this particular karmic sinkhole has no known bottom.

The Berkely killing was by an oppressed social revolutionary, so this delusional lefty dreamer had better get on board the correct dogma before he is known as a "racist."

the shared vibration

I think we all know what kind of "vibration" Miss Morford prefers.

This is a dark time because of the Godlessness of the nation. We have put our own wants and desires ahead of God. When it is okay to cause a helpless woman to die, kill unborn children and marry others of the same sex we know that America has turned a new page in history. But if you study the Bible this has already been predicted and its the beginning of a new age.

Morford is a nut all right, but I'm not sure about his bona fides. They seem to have pulled some passing yahoo off the streets, and said, 'Hey, want to write a newspaper column? We're looking to hire someone opinionated, melodramatic, and totally clueless.'

Those on the left never sees their own dogma as an issue worthy of debate.

"You focus inward and work on the self and radiate as much love and open-hearted support as possible, grit your karmic teeth and hope you survive this dark house of mirrors"

What, no karmic hug?

There has NEVER been a good time, or safe time, for the more vulnerable individuals in society, and even the well-placed and highly capable fall victim to the caprice of seething hatred. They have always been targets for the ruthless, the unruly, and the debased among us. Bullying is not ended by fiat, and the Biblical sins are not cleansed by mere recitation of the litany. For whatever reason, human beings are often so much less than their better selves, and this inadequacy bursts forth at sometimes very unexpected moments.

There are a lot more bad apples (or just plain loonies) running around loose than could ever be locked up and secured.

Yes, it is a new Dark Age, and no place is it darker than in Berkeley.

What a charlatan. We liberate 50 million Arabs from torture chambers, rape rooms, and theocatric tryanny and this jerk claims America is walking in shadow. The idiot is mistaking the cure for the disease, yet insists we should gather round and sing kum-bye-ya, all will be well. Moron. Go shove your power crystals.

You nailed what puzzles me.

Who at that rag actually believes anything even remotely close to these lunatic rants?

These columns read like he is on crack, and the fact that they are mainstream there is absolutely frightening.

The lefties are reduced to blaming Bush for what some Berkely nuts do.

Actually I think it is someone else's ass. But no matter, either way it's dark.
