Giving Credit Where Credit is Due

You know, I have a real pet peeve when it comes to the way things are getting defined and redefined. It's Friday and it's been a grueling week. The news is all bad. And by the way, I do have some Good News. All the bad news that keeps mounting is one of the signs of the Good News of the Second Coming. More bad news for all those Left Behind Fans, there is no Scriptural evidence that anyone's "up and out" before the trouble starts. At any rate, I am looking forward to Sabbath and a new week. But, I must share one last observance with the way things have come to be. I believe the baby boomer generation gets way too much credit for the way things are. I have to tell you, whether it's feminism, PETA, or selfish views of entitlements, we were by far, not the first generation to think this stuff up. We just labelled it. So, lets give credit where credit is due. The women that became teenagers through the depression are the true example of feminists. Their lives clearly said, "I will decide where I will be and no one is going to make me stay on the farm and be a baby machine." Now, just because we have an organization called PETA, and that is just a strange concept to begin with. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals should also want people treated ethically, but for the most part, animals are placed above people. Well, how long have we had in our society, little old ladies with cats? Or remember when we were kids and had to "cater" to the little ornamental yipping house dog that belonged to the couple that didn't have children? And we knew they like animals better than kids. Kids just sense that sort of thing. Now lets move on to the aged saints of our society who don't want anyone to touch their pensions, inheritances, investments, or Social Security, because they are entitled to it all. And once again, we baby boomers don't have the sense they did! And they are right, rather than registered dogs, we had kids. And rather than choose to be working women, there was no choice. And now that the union has been replaced by immigrant conservative illegals, there will be no recourse. The neoconservative party can now get labor cheaper and the votes. As far as Social Security goes, we knew years ago, ours was taken. You see, in 1967 President Johnson "borrowed" from Social Security to fund the war, so once again, the baby boomers have managed life unwisely. All the boys in the baby boomer generation blew our Social Security on their senior trip to Viet Nam!
they did evil in the sight of the Lord . . . doing what was right in their own eyes
