Last November the 11th, (check the Archives list to the right of this column), I wrote about my youthful experience with Satan's ability to create chaos on one of the most politically apathetic campuses in America, at that time. The next year, I was profoundly amazed at the great increase in the student population of those who chose to dress like what we others referred to as "hippy types". The only logical conclusion we could draw from this was that the school's admissions board had decided that admitting more of these emotional degenerates to the school would appease the "spirit" of chaos that gave us the rioting of the previous year. This seemed to be like giving a "spoiled brat" a piece of candy to stop him from throwing a tantrum. In reality the only thing that appeased these "pervs" was the random killing of 4 students (only one of which could be proven to be a rock-thrower that day, and the other three were probably innocent bystanders), and the wounding of nine others. The awful reality of possibly getting shot, by panicky National Guardsmen, who rightly, or wrongly' got fed up with the rock throwing, and decided to take the law into their own hands, and opened fire, was the only reason we didn't have more rioting. Most of these "hippy types" presumably were only "closet radicals", who only wanted to dress the part, and shout slogans from a safe distance, while other innocent bystanders took the bullets.
My reason for rehashing brutal memories is because Monday was the 45th anniversary of the May 4th killings at Kent State (also on a Monday). As I watched the news reports of the rioting in Ferguson, Missouri, a few months ago, and now the same in Baltimore (though the latter outrage seems more justifiable than the former), I can't help but see the same turmoil brewing, with the apparent help of self-serving instigators, like the "Reverend" Al Sharpton ( that great blustering fool, who brought us the moral outrage of the Tawana Brawley false "gang-rape" affair). I wrote last November that I knew who the real instigator was of these riots (Satan), and the rest were just trying to profit from the turmoil however they may. As far as the rock-throwers and the arsonists are concerned, they can be counted on to try and do their "dirty-work", and then clear out to let someone else get shot, whether guilty or innocent they don't care. As long as it instigates more "moral outrage" against the authorities, it serves their purposes. So they suppose the great American Communist Revolution will finally appear, which Leftists have been expecting since at least the 1930's. I think it was the philosopher, George Santayana, who once said, "Those who refuse to remember the past are condemned to re-live it". Put another way, by another great thinker (Solomon), "There is nothing new under the sun". (Turn, turn, turn: Bob Dylan)
The rest of us are left to go "tsk-tsk-tsk", and shake our heads and wonder "what's the world coming to?". Well, I'll tell you. The world's going to Hell, and those of us who won't "jump ship" pretty quick will be carried right along with it. And the only way to effectively "jump ship" is to call on Jesus Christ to forgive us of all our sins, personal and corporate, and to come into our hearts, and be our Lord and Savior, guaranteeing our refuge in Heaven when it all "hits the fan". Your choice, do it or not, it's up to you.
