"Woe" is Not a Positive Thing

Oh, now, come on!

So, while NYC's Mayor Bloomberg is hard over in favor of murdering babies in the womb, he is compassionate enough to ban sugared drinks from the city's fast food outlets. Bad, you see. Ought not be. And now I come across a CBS report that he has outlawed food donations to homeless shelters. What??!!

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness" (Isa 5:20).

Just ... wow!

(Ironically, on the side of the story when I was looking at it was an ad inviting donations for people affected by Sandy. Sorry. Not gonna happen. The city can't evaluate the quality of the donations. It would be interesting to see if he'd try to be consistent on that. I'm not expecting it.)

Two in a day eh? Lots to talk about. Anyway here is a C.S. Lewis quote that will become more and more applicable in the days to come. I know you've seen. It just feels good reposting it. :)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Yeah, saw (and liked) that one from your Facebook. Even thought of borrowing it. You did it for me. Thanks.
