DYING BY SLOW DANCE
Before us is the perfect combination for slow death and civil war. Nothing propels society into chaos like seeing children starve and wanting basic necessities. Furthermore, what faces Americans has never been experienced, not by this generation. Not ever. Not in the Great Depression. Not during the Civil War.

These dramas always been "over there", like in Africa or India.
Photo: In March 1993, photographer Kevin Carter made a trip to southern Sudan, where he took now iconic photo of a vulture preying upon an emaciated Sudanese toddler near the village of Ayod. Carter said he waited about 20 minutes, hoping that the vulture would spread its wings. It didn’t. Carter snapped the haunting photograph and chased the vulture away.
Can you imagine this being you child?
Certainly not in our cushy life, but it is coming, rearing its ugly putrid head. We Americans easily push those countries' hard times to the back of our minds. Best forgotten. It doesn't fit with boating, golf, shopping, reality TV, vacations, backyard parties, good times.
How will you feel when this affects your children, your lifestyle?
Over the decades we've become fat, lazy, complacent, stupid, arrogant, ignorant. It can't happen here, we think. WRONG! Lord, help us! It is happening now on our dirt. Can't you see this? Did you know that the poorest 5% of Americans are richer than nearly 70% of the rest of the world? That is an astonishing statement. No wonder we are blind. Soon 'need' will pound on your door.
How you answer in your heart of hearts, in your private, most honest moments, depends on your personal courage, your faith in God, and on how you've personally prepared.
