Economic Collapse linked to Moral Decay


An essay by Stephen Gray gives us something to think about:

“History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster.”(Douglas MacArthur)



Oh, but if only we WOULD learn from history! I think I'll choose... um...Spiritual Awakening!


"My mind withdrew its thoughts from experience, extracting itself from the contradictory throng of sensuous images, that it might find out what that light was wherein it was bathed... And thus, with the flash of one hurried glance, it attained to the vision of That Which Is."
(Saint Augustine)

What a chilling comment from General MacArthur!
I'm afraid he's right, the nation he fought so bravely for is declining by it's own corruption!
