A Different World
"Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted."
— Aldous Huxley
When you think about it, it's a different world today than it was in the 1950s. Back then, people left their doors unlocked, they left the keys in the ignition of their car, they left their children unattended, they took a job and had job security, and they got married as a means to have companionship for life, on life's journey.
Today, people have five locks on their door; car theft is common; unattended children are abducted, raped, and killed; people change jobs frequently and expect to have two to four different careers in their life; people get married out of selfishness, illusions, and ambition, and the majority get divorced, and they do it over again, and again.
Back in the 50s, rape and murder and robbery were uncommon. Today, they are so common they hardly make the news; you have to kill dozens of people to grab people's attention. Today there are at least 500 serial killers stalking the innocent across the US. Back in the 50s a person who couldn't cope with life's problems turned to alcohol. Today, they can't get enough crack, cocaine, crank, Ecstasy, heroin, LSD, marijuana, and so on. Back in the 50s there were romantic crooners, pop music was light-hearted, lyrics were about a simpler kind of life. Today, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and the rest grab their crotches as they sing, and their lives are filled with perversity; the lyrics of songs including gangster rap music are violent, obscene, and denigrating in the extreme; the sounds of shrieking and screaming that pass for "music" in popular heavy-metal music, and groups such as Megadeath, could only come straight from hell. And they do.
Over the decades, life on Earth has been moving steadily towards life in Hell. A pin-up calendar of a pretty girl, showing her legs, was considered very racy back in the 50s. Today, every form of perversity and pornography is readily available — even to children — on the Internet; it is the biggest business on the Internet. Pornography is a multi-billion dollar business. Illicit drugs are a multi-billion dollar business, and so on.
It's a different world, and not all for the better. Back in the 50s a lot of food was grown naturally, organically. Cancer was uncommon. Today, food is heavily chemically treated, and genetically modified, to cause allergic reactions and attack the human body's immune system. The water and air are filled with toxic chemicals. Cancer is epidemic, and we are faced with emerging diseases such as AIDS, Gulf War Syndrome, Ebola, Mad Cow Disease, and so on. Diseases opportunistically take advantage of our greatly weakened immune systems. read more ...
