Sleep Walking in America: quisnam mos excito populus

As if America has fallen into a condition of protracted somnambulism, most public officials along with the summarily distracted citizens of our nation seem bent on plunging headlong to their own demise: but why? We’re not yet the walking dead but we may be close to a nation of sleep walking dullards who need to wake up before we lose everything.

Not a day passes when someone does not read my article entitled, Prophecy 2010 – America Approaches the Fork in the Road either on my website or one of the dozen or so other sites that have published it. http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/17802 It indicates to me that there are a growing number of people who sense that we are living in turbulent times and they are trying to make sense of it all.

Recent Pew reports indicate that forty percent of Americans believe that Christ will return by 2050. Although I would argue that it will be much sooner than that, I stand amazed that in spite of Muslim encroachment, apostate churches falling rapidly and a deepening of licentiousness and immorality a lot of believing American Christians are still holding the line.

One of the benefits of having a good statistics meter on a web page is that you can see not only how many are visiting your site but you can gather a sense of what they are looking at and just how long they spend on different features. Watching my own site meter has shown me that most people fly through the site at the speed of light and then they are off to the next source of information.

The preponderance of information on the internet is mind boggling and that contributes to the skim along the top kind of browsing that is so prevalent. Now and then someone will slow down, pause, meditate and reflect on what they are seeing or reading. I don’t know who those people are but I know I would probably like them. I’m sure I could carry on a decent conversation with them and no doubt would learn something by listening to them.

But for most, it is apparent that they are living in a fly by world where information never gets deep enough to become education or edification. It may be that since everything changes so quickly today that it is just easier to skim the surface and quickly return to the more familiar patterns of our own comfortable everyday life. There is nothing at all wrong with this approach unless everything is about to blow wide open. With little time and even less certainty to make a final adjustment, the unwary will be caught in the wash and swept away. They will become those who give definition to the adage, “They never knew what hit them.â€

Excellent article...
