A few years ago the Ontario Human Rights Commission toyed with the idea of assigning itself the authority to decide whom your friends should be… ’cause you can’t let ordinary racist dumb people decide that for themselves, they’ll just get it wrong.
Here in America, our looniversities are every bit as evilly wacko as the OHRC. Like f’rinstance:
This clown’s crime, for which the Loving Left punished him, was knowing and liking someone who wound up running for governor as a Republican. Boo! White privilege! Boo! Racist-Biggit-Hater!
I admit it. I hate these cheap little tin-horn Stalinists. We should shut down 90% of the colleges–before it’s too late. Before they do irreparable harm to our republic.
We do not (!) have to slink around with “Kick Me” signs on our backs.
One thing I’ve noticed is that the education community seems to truly believe that they not only occupy the moral “high ground” but actually define that high ground. It’s not just confined to the obvious, such as liberal colleges, but has shown up in technical processes, where common sense and troubleshooting ability are sacrificed to inflexible processes that can waste time and delay resolution of problems. What has happened is the knowledge is being dispensed and tested, but understanding is nowhere in the picture.
I hear it all the time; people using complex words that they can’t even pronounce properly and don’t understand. (There’s that word again.) There’s no imagination and no concept that there might be other approaches. Soon, the process becomes more important than the outcome and problems that could be solved are declared as being impossible to solve, only because the process doesn’t allow for a solution of that particular problem. But it doesn’t matter, because all of the thinking was done when they created the process. I’ve seen this in my industry for decades.
Western Civilization is in its death throes.
Wow! I wish everybody would read this.
It might be nice to get our act together before God says, “Do I have to come down there?”
The original issue was the knowledge of good and bad. We, as humans, can’t do it for ourselves. Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” Humans decide the priorities they assign to moral issues and we end up with laws that don’t work. Liberty IS important, but some liberties humans claim for themselves are not constructive. So we need certain responsibilities to take precedence over liberties. The moral laws of the Bible define a great balance, and afford us the most freedom possible
Great explanation, unknowable. I have noticed this myself, but less completely than you have. And, as for God coming down here” Yes, He has that planned, illustrated in many ways, and it is in the schedule.
I agree completely, this will require Divine intervention.
