History seems to get lost quickly these days. In my lifetime, southern Baptists were very much pro-choice. From Bill Moyer’s, way back in 2014. I quibble a bit with his analysis. It was mostly a move to consolidate political power, in a country where religions are not supposed to have political power.

When Southern Baptists Were Pro-Choice

I have been saying for a while that the worldwide political unrest is caused by the internet. More specifically, the widespread use of the internet on mobile phones using applications like Facebook. This is to today’s world what the printing press was to Martin Luther’s. Ex-CIA analyst Martin Gurri has been studying this for over a decade and has some good points. I may have to get his 2014 book.

“Every major transformation in information technology has brought in train widespread chaos and disruption, often accompanied by bloodshed, as the old elites – wedded to obsolete forms of communication – were chased up their castle towers and heaved out the window.”

The Prophet of the Revolt

Almost too much of a coincidence. Look who greeted me this morning. Ivanka! The cats were not amused. We live on an acre and I found the centipede on the driveway up by the road. I’m very surprised she made it to the house, much less into the house.
