The End is Near

Here is a post from 2008 that Christian wrote while thinking about the Presidential candidates that year. Thing have changed, or have they? At least gas is cheaper than one might think. One sure thing – the last sentence has nor changed one wit. It is still true in 2020. Enjoy a memory. . .

I’ve been thinking about getting one of those “sandwich board” signs that says, “The End Is Near,” and standing on the corner, or walking up and down in front of the mall.

I’ve been hearing about the bad economy, taking a look at our national debt, recognizing that entitlement programs (Social Security is my focus) are funded out of the imagination, hearing all the Presidential candidates promising to raise taxes, cut services, ignore illegal immigration, and those in power encouraging every Country to produce more oil except us (which I think will get the price of gasoline up to around $8.47 per gallon), and recognizing that the only thing growing faster than immorality in the United States is the birthrate in China and India (they should have enough people to take over the World in about twenty minutes).

Today, I got this quote in my e-mail: “Well, the conference met today and appointed a commission to meet tomorrow and appoint a delegation which will eventually appoint a subcommittee to draw up ways and means of finding out what to start with first.” —Will Rogers

I’m beginning to believe that if things don’t improve fast, our only resort will be to turn back to God.
