I just noticed an article that caught my attention. The headline said,”What Hollywood is saying about—-“. My first thought was,”Who cares?”. Then it hit me– millions care. And that’s a serious problem. Literally millions of people are attuned to what is being said in Hollywood. You could call it,”Hero worship”. It’s bad enough that these entertainers make millions doing what they do, it is worse that it gives them a platform to influence so many people in the wrong way.
To listen to these people, and I suggest that you don’t, you would think they are experts on the subject of which they’re speaking, when in realty they are usually, immoral half-wits who do not deserve a listening ear. Just like in their profession they are acting— acting as though they are experts, pretending to be what they’re not. It is so bad that you can pretty well bank on the fact that if the Hollywood crowd is for it, we ought to be against it. They are wrong about just about everything. Of course they aren’t alone.
I was watching a game show the other day where one family of four or five was pitted against another family of the same number. As I listened to the questions and answers I was amazed at the stupidity of the participants. It was unbelievable! “Dumb and dumber” was what came to my mind. Now if the extent of the problem stopped with game shows it wouldn’t be a big deal, but it doesn’t end there. We have a national epidemic of stupidity. People are blinded by the god of this world. And to make it worse they are being fed a steady diet of folly from fools in Hollywood—their idols.
Question–“do you ever look around and wonder how it can be that Americans have put such inept people in positions of leadership and have voted to do things that literally destroy our nation?”. We do things that are not only contrary to what the Bible teaches, but contrary to commonsense. Then we complain about the out-come and/or blame others for the way things are. Dumb and —Oh well, you know the rest.
I fear we have reached the tipping point on the scales of good judgment. When a ship is listing to one side, taking on water, it finally reaches a point of no return and sinks. I fear that we are close to the tipping point. In other words, patients are running the asylum, prisoners are running the prison. And it would be funny were it not so serious that many of them claim to be the intellectual elite, and that the rest of us are just right-wing nut cases. One of my questions to that crowd is this—“How is it working?”. Their answer of course is that we are holding them back and the problems could be solved if we gave them total control. I’ve heard that song before, but things aren’t gong so well there either. How many people do you know who are trying to get into Russia, or Cuba, or Venezuela? Yeah, that’s what I thought! Why then do you allow others to take you down a path that always ends in destruction? Does that make sense?
I don’t know if the tide can be turned or not, but I do know that hard times are ahead if it isn’t. The “Good old days” are gone forever, and only God knows what the future holds. The best we can do is the best we can do. If we do any less we deserve what we get. The challenge is great and only time will tell if we are up to it.
I know, you get tired of hearing negative stuff like this. I understand–I get tired of writing stuff like this. But I suspect our troops get tired of going off to war, but sometimes you just have to do what needs to be done rather than what you enjoy doing. When there’s a job to be done, the question isn’t “Will it be fun and easy?”, but “What do I do?”. Safety demands vigilance, so we must be forever alert and active.
