I appreciate DEMCAD and his video. For the first time in a long while, instead of viewing videos that predict humanity's end, this video reflects our true virtue that made civilization possible in the first place. This virtue is consideration for others along with self governance, impulse restraint. Not to mention another valuable human virtue called, empathy. I would also equate unity in diversity as the gold standard of any thriving civilization. Thanks DEMCAD for an interesting video.

Honestly I think people will continue to do the same mistakes over and over again, regardless of the crisis.

But if it could make government just a little bit smaller it would not be too bad.

thats not a nose, its a high capacity air intake. Although I agree with your views...

[blankman9900]

state government is a joke.

[powermousey]

me too.

I hope there will be a true Ecotopia.

The book was by Ernest Callenbach.

Where the states of Washington, Oregon,

and California..actually Northern Califonia

seceded from the Union and started their own country. A few other states din the end were considering to join up like Nevada and Montana. I doubt it, but hopefully if thats what it takes to wake up the US Government and what they are doing and allowing.

There will be Christians in and during the 7 year Tribulation period. You are right, my friend. But they will be Tribulation saints and not the Bride or Church.

John 14:1-4. Matthew 24:36-44.

Mark 13:32-37 Luke 21:34-36

I Thessalonians 5:9, Revelation 3:10.
