I found this letter to the editor I wrote from April of 1994, 28 years ago. It sounds like I could have written it yesterday. I haven’t changed much since then, but clearly the overt evil in the world has become more bold and prolific with each passing year.
The one thing we can be certain of is this: that the entropy of this world is towards evil, continually. It takes an effort to withstand it. Our politicians have adopted evil practices in every sphere of life and we are overwhelmed by the decline as they boldly proliferate the trans nonsense and the sexual grooming of children, the authoritarian Covid policies now in place, crippling national financial debt, and the restrictions on speech and ideas, just to name a few. The old saying holds true, that “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
