[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 2765674, member: 688"] Under the guise of righting wrongs "outraged" protestors have the fun of tearing things down and feeling righteous. Not only is being a crusader an ego boost, being offended is a new form of free enterprise: advocacy groups can pull in big money. Anyone remember Alexander Solzhenitsyn? He said something about the Soviet Union that is increasingly applicable to our country: "Over half a century ago while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of older people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: 'Men have forgotten God; that's why all of this has happened.' Since then I have spent well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed 8 volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: 'Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.'" And so too the forgetfulness of modern man continues to take him further and further from God and closer to the jaws of disaster and the pit of destruction." [/QUOTE]
