| | Currently Reading Currently reading- John C. Calhoun A biography definitely interesting and all great men have their failings, unfortunately it is obviously written by a modern author with a distain for the principles that made America great. As is the case with most authors this one tries to point to slavery and minimize the sectional differences and the unequal power excercised by the Northern states. Reviewing the past I was looking over some old posts and reminiscing on how long I have been on xanga nearly 4 years now. Below is a post and comment from 2005. What I found interesting about this one is specifically the comment seems to address mush of today’s moral climate.
Monday, June 27, 2005 In the year 1834 a poet named Heirich Hein assesed the situation in Germany,although not a Christian he recognised Christe's power, in what he termed the talisman of the cross. He knew what would happen when the influence of the cross waned. "Should the subduing talisman, the cross break, then will come roaring forth the wild madness of the old champions, the insane berserker rage of which northern poets sing . That talisman is brittle,and a day will come when it will pitifully break..." comment- That day hails the dawn of the living dead.
