re: #207 ggt

The world is moving forward too fast for them, not their plan, not in their control.

And, therefore, not part of G-d’s plan.

That’s actually very true. The last 20 years have brought tremendous change, starting with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Then came the internet (and specifically, browsers such as Netscape and AOL) which completely changed the way that we communicate with each other and the way that literally everything is done these days.

In a very real sense, the world that existed when Reagan was POTUS is gone and it will never return. We’ve simply moved too far, too fast. They can’t handle it because all their assumptions and the rules they used to live by no longer apply. And now, in what they see as the ultimate insult, we’ve got a black man with an African name as President. They just can’t accept it or adapt at all.
