Totally agree that all of the fear porn has made anxiety the new religion! So many sheep keep worshipping at the altar of the wolves and not enough sheep dogs yet!

If only those sheep could see that the wolves are almost always trying to protect their money and power with the fear they are constantly pushing out through all the propaganda! Good news is more and more people everyday are walking away from listening to or watching the media that has been co-opted and only survives because of the advertising dollars being spent by the wolves as an insurance policy to protect their true motives and actions from being exposed.

Thanks to social media and things like Substack the sheep dogs can shed light on the darkness and are pulling more and more sheep everyday from the religion of anxiety.

As much as many of us thought social media would be the final nail in the coffin of our productivity we can now see that even though way to much time is spent admiring it that same social media is actually the saving grace that society needs to get the other side of the story out so that people can make up their own minds.

Can not trust any polling out there but the one that is a true gauge of what the people are really thinking! In every state the pendulum has swung to large increases in voter registrations away from the Democrat party toward the Republican Party! (If you want proof of this just follow Captain K on Substack to get his almost monthly report of voter registrations) The middle class is finally figuring out the Democrat party has never done anything but talk about helping the middle class. The elites and the corporations have figured out (thanks to Covid) that more regulations can actually be a good thing to drive their small business competion out of business. Small businesses can not afford to pay lawyers to help them circumvent those regulations. Remember who got to stay open during the lockdowns?

The elites and the corporations who have always donated and voted republican have made the switch. The good news is there are way more people who don’t fall in the elite category. In closing those who have not seen the light yet you can really pat yourself on the back because you are now helping to support the very group of people that you despised in the first place.

I appreciate the New Century Version wording of Proverbs 9:10a. "Wisdom begins with respect for the Lord,".

When you respect someone, likely because of past inciteful experiences, you take what they say seriously. As you state and your chart shows, Chris, a decrease in respect for who God is and what He says (the Bible) has measurable deleterious effects on people and, thus, society.

History, past and current, is replete with examples of what happens to societies that respect, or don't, the Living God and His instructions for our well-being.
