Hello! Hello to you all!
Today is both a very sad day and a very happy day.
Why, do you ask?
Today is a sad day because I am a hard-core traditionalist conservative orthodox Roman Catholic, and we just swore in the most radically pro-abortion president in the history of these United States.
Today is a happy day because I finally got enough motivation to start my blog.
I consider myself an intellectual person (relatively speaking), and so I will give my pseudo-professional analysis of America's current situation.
We're all gonna die.
No, not really...actually, once we stop killing off our unborn babies, old people, and depressed people who are 'tired of life' and start working on getting ourselves out of the moral and economical depression we've willingly walked into, we just might be all right after all.
That's what makes being Catholic (and Christian, for that matter) so wonderful! We are the "gadflies" of society, like Socrates says in Plato's Apology. It is our duty to wake up the sleeping steed of society today with a bite to the (proverbial) flanks. It's not going to be comfortable or pleasant for anyone involved, and we may get ourselves swatted a few (thousand) times. However, better for the noble horse to have a rude awakening than to suffocate in the burning stable.
People nowadays subscribe to what folks down in South Texas commonly call the "mañana syndrome." Mañana has two meanings in Spanish: morning and tomorrow. The theory behind the saying is that we are always putting things off for 'mañana' (tomorrow) when we should be going out and getting something done.
I'm not one to talk. I'm currently stalling Monday's Calc II homework.
However, what differentiates a wise person from an idiot (and I mean that in the kindest possible way) is that the wise person listens for and acts upon good advice.
I think my clock is giving me such advice by kindly informing me that it's probably too late for me to continue typing.
May God bless you all,
PHC
