Here's Fred

A bit of wisdom from Fred Reed

I figure the human race is some sort of cosmic mistake. Obviously mankind can’t govern any farther than it can see on an overcast day, and when things get more complicated than a Bordie Collie can grasp, it’s all downhill. Take money. How many people can understand fractionated debentures, declivities, and  marginally flensed capitalization? Complexity beyond a certain point boggles the rubes and lets the lobbies play. Most of government just does what it wants, in plain sight, and nobody sees it because there is too much of it, in too many places, and who has time?

Ain't it the Truth...........BG
the right/left yardstick is a French Revolution-born human measure. It reflects the political spectrum, which is determined by the people’s range of beliefs. Christians, however (and everyone, in fact), should make Truth their yardstick. This inerrant guide doesn’t compromise and build consensus, either; it’s not a politician. It dictates where reality lies. And in a civilization claiming 2+2=5, it’s with the “extremist” who insists it’s 4. For God’s realism so often is man’s radicalism.
