Coming Religious Revival


Brian, historians Will and Ariel Durant observed in their classic The Lessons of History that when law and order break down we see people turn to religion and ethics as a way to "push back" against abuse. This describes exactly the situation in America. The governmental system, which orchestrates the legal system, works for the vampires on Wall Street. As a result, we expect ethics to push back against abuse. I am not optimistic about the power of ethics to "right" the ship alone. In the end, raw power, government, must come into play - or we live in a dream world.
