Fallen Empire?
RECEIVED Mon., Nov. 17, 2003
Chronicle,
I am flat-on-my-back shocked at the raging immaturities flourishing in the halls of federal government, with rapidly decreasing concern for the common man. The constant wrangling for party dominance is eroding our political system to the point where it is quickly becoming unrecognizable when squared to the Constitution.
Honest thinking, for those precious few who have this capacity, is the only exit off the road traveled by many a fallen empire. It seems that all we learn from history is how to repeat it; fueled by the insistent promotion of empty ideologies which find little to no expression in everyday living.
I pray that we as a country and as individuals are able to change our ways or else we will end up where we're headed.
