Change Is Inevitable But Change For The Better Has Flickered Out In The U.S.

Common Sense Commentary: "Change" does not move sideways; it moves up for the better or down for the worse. While Science, Technology and Medical change have zoomed skyward like a NASA HI-TECH satellite, in the last fifty years, Logic, Reason, Moral and Spiritual change have all plunged like a burned out hunk of space junk. Like a High School Football Championship on a Friday night, It seems the bleachers on the left are exploding with waving towels, hoots and howls and screams of approval with an uproarious, blasting  band ....while the bleachers on the right, with a smattering crowd of quiet Christians, and a few morality fans, are standing awe-struck, not of their Great God, but of the power of the Lucifer  Hyenas  on the field .... who are winning the morality/immorality game, while unknowingly losing the Eternal Life Championship. Look up Christians; this is not the real playoffs. No matter how poorly we are doing on the field, the final score is 100 to 0 in our favor. RB
