Meanwhile...here in America we continue to plant millions of acres of corn ONLY TO BE BURNT UP to make ethanol for our cars...and our society has become so obese that we are bankrupting ourselves as we attempt to fix our obesity dilemna.

 

The world is definately out of whack.  We need someone to come and bring justice.

 

Sadly, the first dude to bring justice will be the Antichrist and it will all be just an illusion.

 

True justice will arrive with the 2nd advent of Jesus Christ when he returns to set up his 1000 year reign.

 

Even so, come Lord Jesus.
