At Times Like These

Wonder why sometimes the people
who should be the most
giving, aren't?  Ever wonder
why the people who have the
most to give, don't?  Ever
wonder why the people
who aren't blessed with enormous
resources, seem to be the ones who
make the most use of those resources?
Ever wonder why those who have
huge reserves aren't willing to share them
when doing so would have no
real consequence to them?

We live in an age where for the price
of a tank of gas a person can obtain
valuable knowledge worth thousands
of dollars, and yet, most choose not to?
Ever wonder why someone would
choose to stay without knowledge?

The most perilous thing that we face as a
people isn't a threat to our economy, but
those who seek to control the population
through fear, would want you to believe
that, ever wonder why?  The most
perilous thing that we face as a people
isn't our educational decline in
standards, although, those who want
to rule you by fear, want you to
believe that, ever wonder why?  The
most perilous thing we face as a
people is not the idea of being separate
and powerfully separate, which
is called freedom, although those
who want to rule by fear, would want
you to believe that, ever wonder
why?  You see, the most perilous thing we face as
a people is the death of the question why?  When we
no longer question why, we have died inside.

Proverbs makes this painfully clear:
21:28  "
 - Pro 21:28 -
A false witness will perish, and whoever 
listens to him will be destroyed forever.*"
Footnote:
* Or / but the words of an obedient man will live on
