Are the prophecies of the bible really prophecies?
Or are they 'Self-fulfilling prophecies'?
Armchair Critic,
Well, you really can not deny that the stupidity of people in authority has reached record levels.
Greed & opportunism are also reaching new heights. Dug abuse & morals are totally derailed.
Things aren't looking very bright for the next few years said Hanrahan !

AC,

To your questions, who knows? But, there seems to be proof of the ‘as you sow so shall you reap’ warning if the downward plunge in Western civilisation is an accurate indicator. We are now starting to reap the 'rewards’ of the rot in morality, the disobedience, and the disrespect for experience and history that was sown in the sixties

In the late 60's I was really worried we get what we have today !

I wouldn't boast too much about our "Socialism created Medicare" Steely.

After waiting 6 years for my knee replacement, it was programed for tomorrow, 22/2/2019.

Guess what, for the second time it was cancelled at the last minute.

You know, I am starting to think our health system just might be run by bureaucrats.

How about waiting 4 years for a replacement Medicare card then be asked to make a new application & then receive two Medicare Cards in one day & three days later receive an interim card.
Bureaucrats anyone ?

For an excellent philosophical commentary on this subject, I highly recommend:

Yes, yes, it's in Quadrant, but at least see what the writer is on about, and whether or not he has Mae a strong case.

Disclaimer: the author is a good friend. I was paid nothing to make this recommendation and flown and accommodated nowhere.
