Madness



 

These are the top headlines from the Drudge Report for the day after Thanksgiving, 2013. It’s actually an improvement over last year, since the body count was lower. The irony of a holiday called “THANKSgiving” being disgraced in this manner is especially galling. On the very day when we are supposed to be thankful for what we already have, millions of Americans have been whipped into a covetous frenzy of consumerism that turns them into animals, fully capable of assault and battery over the prospect of saving a buck on the latest trinket.

What in the hell has happened to us?

  1. I was just talking to my fiance about that! Oh, the irony of the spirit of consumerism, for it will see the unraveling of modern society.

    Interestingly enough, we watched a couple of his videos in myProphecy class at UVA last fall. The discussion was on the makings of a prophet.
