I fully believe that the America that we all know and find comfort in, will not exist by the end of my lifetime. I totally said that too…only mine was like 10 years ago and with less pretty words.

I remember something about moral decline and increasing dependence on the government to see to needs that should be privately met leading to the downfall of the system. Despite all that, ABC's candidate-matching widget told me that I most agree with Barak Obama. Go figure. I’ve read similar things, specifically about the Roman empire.

This is the passage I read last night in Job that seemed to fit the topic (Job 12:16-25): 16 To him belong strength and victory; both deceived and deceiver are his. 17 He leads counselors away stripped and makes fools of judges. 18 He takes off the shackles put on by kings and ties a loincloth [b] around their waist. 19 He leads priests away stripped and overthrows men long established. 20 He silences the lips of trusted advisers and takes away the discernment of elders. 21 He pours contempt on nobles and disarms the mighty. 22 He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings deep shadows into the light. 23 He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them. 24 He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason; he sends them wandering through a trackless waste. 25 They grope in darkness with no light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.

This is the passage I read last night in Job that seemed to fit the topic (Job 12:16-25):

16 To him belong strength and victory;
both deceived and deceiver are his.

17 He leads counselors away stripped
and makes fools of judges.

18 He takes off the shackles put on by kings
and ties a loincloth [b] around their waist.

19 He leads priests away stripped
and overthrows men long established.

20 He silences the lips of trusted advisers
and takes away the discernment of elders.

21 He pours contempt on nobles
and disarms the mighty.

22 He reveals the deep things of darkness
and brings deep shadows into the light.

23 He makes nations great, and destroys them;
he enlarges nations, and disperses them.

24 He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason;
he sends them wandering through a trackless waste.

25 They grope in darkness with no light;
he makes them stagger like drunkards.

Snopes.com etc. Jacob, great bit of relevant-to-topic scripture there.

I guess the over all message of this topic should be that in an unsteady world that faith in God not men is the only way to true peace.
