your sons and daughters shall prophesy

And it shall come to pass afterward,
    that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh;
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
    your old men shall dream dreams,
        your young men shall see visions…” (Joel 2.28)

I didn’t think anyone could think or act in ways more asinine that our absurd American Caligula. But, I must now acknowledge being wrong. There are others equally stupid and evil. Today, we mention just one, Rick Santorum. Speaking of the brave gun control activist high school students from ocean to ocean, he recently suggested on public T.V,
 
“How about kids, instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations where there is a violent shooter.”
 
While I am left speechless at such extreme and willful evil ignorance, thankfully some are not. I’m not sure how long I laughed at this obvious response to the Santorum stupidity via twitter.
 
“Here are some stats made simple for Rick Santorum:
Survival rate of pulseless trauma victims who get CPR at the scene: VERY, VERY LOW
Survival rate of people who don’t get shot in the first place: MUCH, MUCH BETTER” (Rebecca Bell, MD).
 
So, to whom will Americans listen?
 
To the idiotic Santorums of the world? Or, perhaps the conniving propogandist of the obscene NRA spokespersons.
 
“Today’s protests aren’t spontaneous. Gun-hating billionaires and Hollywood elites are manipulating and exploiting children as part of their plan to DESTROY the Second Amendment and strip us of our right to defend ourselves and our loved ones.”
 
Or, maybe, a man of God?
 
“Dear young people, never get tired of being instruments of peace and joy among your peers!” encouraged Pope Francis via tweeter. Then, in his Palm Sunday homily,
 
“There are many ways to silence young people and make them invisible. Many ways to anesthetize them, to make them keep quiet, ask nothing, question nothing. There are many ways to sedate them, to keep them from getting involved, to make their dreams flat and dreary, petty and plaintive.
​
“Dear young people, you have it in you to shout… It is up to you not to keep quiet. Even if others keep quiet, if we older people and leaders, some corrupt, keep quiet, if the whole world keeps quiet and loses its joy, I ask you: Will you cry out?”

"Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, ‘Verily I say unto you,

     Except ye be converted, and become as little children,
     ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
     Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,
     the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
     And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
     But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me,
     it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck,
     and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matthew 18.2-6)
