Stop the Presses and Hold the Wireless
There was a time in America when common sense mattered. Men were men, women were women and the saying “boys will be boys” really meant that, and little Sally played with dolls. Those were the good old days.
At some point society changed while America was asleep at the wheel (so to speak). Was it after the invention of the television, or the record player? Maybe it was the digital audio tape? Oh it might have been when the movie screen began showing full length color movies? Or was it the publication of Playboy Magazine? Oh what secrets that revealed, no that was Victoria! It seems like overnight that America lost its innocence and the world turned upside down.
American history became a watered-down version of someone’s perception of what actually happened and facts no longer matter. World geography did not keep up with the rapidly changing and realignment of national borders. Tribes of people were no longer relevant and everyone wanted everyone else to go back to where they came from. That would be quite a feat since Iran won’t let visitors to Mount Ararat.
God’s Word had it right all along with this in Proverbs 26:4 (NLT) “Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools, or you will become as foolish as they are.”
The all American version was spoken by Mark Twain when he said, “Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.” And “Don’t argue with stupid people, for they will drag you down and beat you with experience.”
I guess there are those on the left who never got those memos, or if they did were unable to decipher their true meaning? And for all you Mensa Society members – Don’t get your hopes up either and for the rest of the world there is always Densa!
