Our phones, televisions, government regulators and 250 million cameras keep tabs on us. How far away is the day when Big Brother puts his foot on our necks and decides who is worthy to live as a slave of the state. The loss of privacy comes just before the hammer drops. When they know it all, there is no where to hide.

It might be of interest to note how many people wind up dead just for associating with the wrong politician. As long as your government check is in the mail I guess it really doesn’t matter. After all if three thousand kids killed per day doesn’t rub you the wrong way, what would?

Years ago if you bought a car on credit you’d finance it for two or three years. Then it became four, five, six and today it’s up to seven years. I noticed a Kia ad the other day that offered to make five months payments for you. Is it just me or do you too have the uneasy feeling the ground is about to shake? It’s just one of the little things that bother me. All this “new normal” is disturbing. It’s not normal; it’s all nonsense. The sad part is that the young believe it is; and so do some of us that should know better.

There’s a phrase that describes an inmate waiting on death row when there are no more appeals or pardons possible. The sentence will be carried out. They are a “dead man walking”. This is the situation America finds herself in. The sentence is: you will reap what you sow. We live in a country where one of the most corrupt politicians in our history can still get forty to fifty percent of the vote. This tells us the average citizen is also corrupt and unworthy to live in a free society. Supported by a corrupt supreme court our society has rejected marriage as an institution for the creation and protection of the family. Since the legalization of infanticide in 1973 our citizens have killed fifty three million of its children and now we have arrived at the point of cannibalizing their corpses for the benefit of ourselves. The government must borrow forty cents of every dollar to satisfy our insatiable desires. How long will the collapse take? We’ve built the house of cards beyond what anyone would have thought possible. As long as there are cards to play the politicians will keep on building. I wonder how long Peter can supply the cards.

We’re taking off for Idaho and Washington for a month. We are spending our first night in Las Vegas. My wife wants to see the beautiful hotels of this city. Our pastor was a cop in Las Vegas. He has stories of what hides in the shadows of all those lights. He advises to stay where the lights are. I’m sure it’s impressive but I’m hoping the shallowness of man will become so overwhelming that in her mind she will understand how close to Sodom we are; and not to look back and miss the lights when its destruction comes. Our whole country has caught casino fever. However I don’t think it too long before the consequences of twenty trillion in debt and a hundred trillion in unfunded liabilities will bring the whole thing down. Those lights have attracted so many. What a day when the stars begin to fall.
