Like thousands (millions?) of other Americans, I couldn’t vote fast enough this year. Living in a mail-in ballot state, I received my ballot two weeks before the election.
I don’t like that; I miss the duty-filled community I felt going to a polling place. But this year, voting more than 10 days before November 8 felt like washing my hands of this entire presidential-campaign morass. (Unfortunately, mailing a ballot doesn’t automatically cleanse the airwaves, streets, and mailboxes of campaign noise. So I’m stuck with 10 more days of ick.)
But America is getting exactly what it deserves in the 2016 presidential race: a reality show dressed up as a sideshow.
We live at a time of reality on roller skates racing by a train wreck.
The Roman Empire lasted more than 500 years. Will the United States make it to 250 years? It’s a toss up.
If we don’t, it won’t be because of invading German Goths like those who conquered Rome. It won’t be terrorists, immigrants, global warming, over population, artificial intelligence getting fed up with humans (although who can blame it), or an asteroid hitting Earth.
America will rot from within. We’ve been so busy trying to be enlightened that we have forgotten the truth.
Two thousand years ago Pilate asked Jesus Christ, “What is truth?” (John 18:38).
The Truth was standing in front of him.
