Just read an essay in the October Harper's on "disaster capitalism". It's basically about the systematic pitting of the haves against the have-nots.
I just heard back-to-back news stories on the BBC (radio) of the violence in Kenya (which I think is regarded as Africa's most "civilized" nation, apart from South Africa) and violence in India between Hindu nationalists and Christians.
And I'm thinking of ethnic "cleansing" (as if) in places around the world.
And I'm wondering if that sort of thing will ever to this nation (the United States). My next-door neighbors are a couple in which he is white and she is Indian (or Pakistani, maybe).
Do we (the world) have to go through this? Is the Age of Enlightenment over? Or has it simply not reached into every corner of the world yet?
Are evil times coming? What sort of world will my children live in?
What should I do in prep for this? Build relationships with people like me (white)? Establish a better relationship with God/Jesus and prepare to follow in His footsteps, meaning: I should be ready to sacrifice myself for what's right?
