CRISIS ...

Oil, Corn, Economic, Weather....all have become a "Crisis" according to the media. But, can you go and buy gas? yup, its expensive, but its plentiful. In the 70's you couldn't even buy it. Thats a crisis!
Corn, its getting more expensive due to flooding, and diverted uses, but its available. Back in the 'dust bowl' years of the 20's, it was not even available. Thats a crisis!
Economic, times are tough thats for sure. But, we have a national employment rate of 95%!!! Its pretty much a given that around 5% of the population is not in the job market for many reasons. Sick, disabled, in school, all of those are considered for working age people that might be looking for a job. The 1929 depression, that was a crisis. We are a VERY long way from that.
Weather, global warming. When have you not known the weather to change? Never. It has been documented by scientists, that just prior to Jesus' birth the climate was much warmer then it is now. It has also been documented that about every 2,000 - 3,000 years in earths history the climate warms and then gets cold. It's not a crisis, its natural.
The whole point is that when someone yells CRISIS, stop and think. Look around, read and investigate. You'll find that many times, its just a matter of perspective, and agenda.
Keep the faith, use the brain God gave you and don't fall for the blaring headlines. The biggest crisis we have in America today is one of FAITH. Faith in God, ourselves and our ancestors.
 
 God Bless you and yours.

Well put, right in the proper perspective. You could add to that:
what agendas are served by yelling crisis about these things,
who profits from them and WHY,
why do they need to profit?

Very true bubbah. However, the question I think your going for is WHO profits. Why they want to profit is simple greed. Why they want to get us all to follow them and buy there snake oil is power.
As they used to say for good reason, always look under the covers before climbing into bed.

tomem, I agree with your assessment of our conditions. I like your optimistic views and will try to view our current conditions more cautiously.

Thank you Destiny_Lane. :)
It just makes a great deal of sense to put things in historical perspective. Something most of our modern day media and politics don't seem to want to try.
