This is our age

We are watching the age of true barbarism as it rears its ugly head. This is a time history will look back on with revulsion.

Not the bronze age when it seemed likely we could make tools to aid in living as well as dying.

Not the industrial age when we thought we could improve life for many with mass production.

Not the so called world wars where death was taken to new heights depersonalizing the human being with weapons of mass destruction.

This is the age that denies men's souls. It is the age of the megalomaniac. An age that could feed everyone, shelter everyone, treat people with drugs that are almost miraculous. This is an age where religious people vote to deny others what they have. An age where people die because they don't have enough gold to pay for medicine that is lying in warehouses under huge price tags.

This is an age where barbarism is touted as American and necessary and neither truth nor education are popular topics among the ruling class.

This is the age of control.
