There are many - and it has been increasing for a long time - that see nothing wrong with taking what they have not earned. It does not look good and I attribute it to amorality.

He and his wife have a house full of home schooled kids. They are Christians. I spoke about how depressed I was at the state of the country and how I despaired at what my grandchildren were inheriting. He said, "Now, we are not to despair, we are to pray (your words,too) and to continue in our Christian ways." That isn't all he said but I thought if this man whose children are not grown can be an optimist that God will prevail, who am I to be so depressed. My daughter and sisters have been telling me this also, but somehow he really got through to me. Bless him. Now I am not as despairing but angry and ready to get to work to turn it around. There is a tea party planned in Houston, we need to have one In Corpus Christi, Victoria and other small cities here in Texas. Work on it not despair of it, my new credo.

So many people relying on the governemnt for their provision, who are so desparate to have their "felt needs" met that they will willfully ignore the stark reality of what is going on. Dissonance Reduction in action. They have put their faith in the government, rather than God, and their own self-sifficiency. Dependence breeds bondage. People talk about the "tipping point" It seems like we are almost there. Very sobering times. It is sad.
