The SUN IS SETTING on western civilization; ominous shadows fall across politics, family life and education.  We live with a growing sense that things are winding down, and somehow freedom, justice and order are slipping away.  Scandal and scams are commonplace as men and women trade character for cash and sacrifice  commitment on the altar of selfishness.  Divorce, drugs and easy   sex create an environment of abuse for much of our youth.  We are living on the edge of chaos.  We stand on the brink of an new dark age.!
