With Liberty and Justice–in Free Fall
In the same manner that faith-based music often ends with a major chord showing completeness and hope in Christ, the Pledge of Allegiance, based on the 5,000 year leap of civil polity found in the United Sates of America, concludes on this triumphant note:
“With liberty and justice for all.”
History had never seen such a government designed for righteous and egalitarian purposes. Despots and strong men ruled the world for millennia. The U.S. shattered that status quo in 1776 and has since led the world in pursuit of freedom and justice.
Not anymore.
The two pillars of a free society to which our children pledge their loyalty are teetering. Liberty and justice are in free fall.
Summer of Socialism: Reject the Hype.
For the majority of my adult life, the word “socialism” connoted something akin to the N-word or F-bomb.
Why?
Because socialism is a bad thing, just like the other two.
So why is socialism being revived in the United States in 2018? And what should we think about our “Summer of Socialism?”
Reject the hype.
Who Woulda Thought?
Please forgive the slang to make some points about the dizzying times in which we live.
Last week I mentioned the reality of constant change–especially from a personal angle. This week I’d like to opine about change in the 21st century and ask you to share your thoughts.
Some amazing things are happening in our lifetime.
