Equality among the races is now being fought out. This leveling of society has been brought to an extreme in some cases, and has led to disdain for elected authority. These changes for the good have been very slow in coming. It takes centuries to make a change in the expectations of society. People of the Middle East find themselves under an iron hand, where worth is measured by the amount of connection with the government.
China crushes any opinion or freedom or equality.
Our country has had a wonderful openness toward the immigrant and the poor, but that is changing. Our government now runs on money, and money is power. The officeholder is there because he is rich, and he will use his office to get more influence, which means more money. Unless the Lord build the city, they labor in vain that build it.
