Bubbling Below The Surface | Because It's 2015
https://alexshaul.wordpress.com/2016/05/25/bubbling-below-the-surface
Because It's 2015. Some Thoughts on Today's World. Bubbling Below The Surface. May 25, 2016. July 1968 was a relatively tame month compared to the rest of the year, which isn’t saying a lot. July would be the low point of tensions throughout the year. However one event that took place would haunt, and continues to haunt, global politics and global stability. On July 17, Saddam Hussein stages a successful coup and assumed power of the Revolutionary Council in Iraq. It is remarkable that such an unnoticeab...

Lessons From ’68 | Because It's 2015
https://alexshaul.wordpress.com/2016/05/30/lessons-from-68
Because It's 2015. Some Thoughts on Today's World. Lessons From ’68. May 30, 2016. What have we learned from 1968? Well, looking at today’s state of affairs, not much.

This has caused movements like Black Lives Matter, atrocious conditions for Aboriginals in Canada, and student strikes, protests, and unrest on campuses in North America, Europe, and elsewhere. America’s B...

Kennedy entered the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles looking forward to celebrate his primary victories in California and South Dakota that evening. It looked like Robert Kennedy was going to go to Chicago and get the nomination of the Democratic Party for President. The man who was supposed to keep Camelot alive and save the country was dying. Massacres and C...

Finding New Meaning in Ancient Faith. Spiral Dynamics and the Prime Directive. In honor of Star Trek’s 50. The Prime Directive is not just a set of rules; it is a philosophy… and a very correct one. History has proven again and again that whenever mankind interferes with a less developed civilization, no matter how well intentioned that interference may be, the results are invariably disastrous. We also have seen this in missionary outreaches to the developing world. Many missionaries, especially in ...

Finding New Meaning in Ancient Faith. CHRISTIANS, IT’S OK TO USE THE WORD ALLAH. My denomination, the Presbyterian Church (USA), has raised eyebrows once again. This time, for praying to Allah in the opening prayer of our biennial General Assembly. The critics have come out of the woodwork. We have been called every name in the book, and maybe some not in the book, except Christians. Which means My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? As you can imagine, Eloi, when spoken, sounds very similar to Allah.
