Quote of the Day

Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore, everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hangs on the results. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the greatest historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us.

~Ludwig von Mises

Ludwig von Mises  (1881 - 1973)

And I just have to remind myself that God is in charge, no matter if I feel helpless.

This is so true it is scary! Further more, it was scary when he said it and it is scary that it still applies easily to today!!

Yes, He certainly is, Linda. Trust - and our faith - is the key.

Suz, it can be very scary. Regarding its applicability, we must remember that human nature hasn't changed. Those who wish to rule over others have always been around. Only our vigilance, and our prayers, will stop them.
