The present anarchy of the Middle East is one that closely parallels and resembles a less violent but very real decline of the values of another age here on the Norte Americana continent.
A couple thoughts merged this week in my mind. And as some of you know me, the mixture may not be true succotash.
I was thinking of Mychal Judge, victim number one of the WTC attack. The Chaplain of the New York City Fire Department rushed downtown to give last rights to the dying and in his act fell victim to falling debris and died. The image of them carrying him across the street from the WTC to lay on the foot of the altar at old Saint Peter’s, a two hundred year old, pagan looking temple of a R.C. church – It is a truly a great iconic American image and symbolic of our loss, losses that day.
Less than a few months ago I caught sight of a NY Waterway Ferry with his name emblazoned on its hull as it sped by the Staten Island ferry in New York bay.
Momentum keeps rising to make this, give this, everyday workaday priest the title of saint. Of course I am not into that thing, but it speaks of respect within the context of the world that he lived in and served. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mychal_Judge
Problem with old poor Mych, he was also chaplain to Gays. Rumor has it that the R.C. church would rather forget him and his heroism. He is not politically correct. He did not properly serve the good ole vatican party line about gays. He served everybody who needed him including his fellow humanity on September 11, 2001.
There is a website. Perhaps God blesses them. I don’t endorse the webiste. The public has already named him Saint Mychal Judge, of a so-called parish in Dallas Texas.
Is this the correct way to due things or is this the modern anarchy of a New Age being born, where tradition can be reshaped to fit regions and individuals. It is the original formula that the R.C. church used to merged local deities with established recognized saints. The Virgin Mary replaced the ten thousand years old Earth Goddess etc of every culture on the planet.
One other thing that caught my eye a week or two ago was the fact that some Japanese children or teachers would rather mock their national anthem (a war mongering song) and makes a play on words with the language in English to suit their amusement.
The Japanese?
This modern western age is repidly falling apart!
And of course coming back to the concept of respect. Spanish speaking immigrants in America are not supposed to sing the American National Anthem (the music of which is an old English drinking/whoring song) en Espanol.
Having been governor of Texas, Gorge Bushito, never realized that the majority or close to it of the people in Texas cannot read or write or communicate in Engles. But of course George (don’t have a clue!) Bush in his dreams was only governor of the white redneck population (minority) or so he rekoned.
I say if you want respect or to show it, show it and sing it in any freaking way or in any freaking language you choose to.
More and more, the national governments and the national media centers grow farther and farther away from reality. The end of the roman empire was like this. But after rome fell, the world and life went on.
Out of the chaos and rubble of the old WTC, a new global era may be dawning.
