STATION EDITORIAL
Posted December 26, 2023
This is a station editorial, I'm Randal J. Miller, station president.
I think I shared with you in this space a few months ago, how a friend told me his philosophy of the world as it's playing out: Since we've conquered about everything that was thought to be impossible 100, 50, 25, or even 10 years ago, we have nothing left to fix or solve. As a result, my friend says, we've gone to thiking today that what was wrong is now right.
Take the case of of Hamas' attack on Israel in October. The United States has been a long-time ally of Israel, but sadly much of the sentiment in this country has been it's the Palestinians who have been wronged despite the horrible atrocities Hamas had inflicted on Israeli hostages. Hamas has showed pictures of dragging or beheading babies and children.
And, this is supposed to be right?
Major U-S university presidents were grilled by Congress earlier in December on the fact demonstrations supporting the Palestinians have broken out on their campuses. And what did they do? Support such demonstrations under the guise of free speech.
I go back to what I said at the start of this editorial. So, what's wrong is now right? Evil is now good?
But, there IS hope. A colleague of mine forwarded an article by marketing guru Roy Williams who read the book Don Quixote, written in 1605. Williams extracts from the book, that civilization has lived in 40 year pendulums from good to evil, and back to good. Williams' opinion is that we've had 40 years of evil, and that 2024 will be the year that pendulum swings back to starting towards good again. I hope he's right.
That's our opinion. We welcome yours. Our e-mail address is editorial@randyradio.com.
