A Sad Thought on Courage and Civic Duty
A column blends biblical verse with commentary on modern society. It contrasts a crucible moment with Judas and a car near-miss parking error, then critiques defense spending, city cleanliness, and public spending mindsets. It notes Iowa soldiers' fitness rates and Norman Baker's court-ordered Leavenworth term, then warns against perpetual fighting in media and politics. It ends praising milk safety upgrades under the Standard U S Milk Ordinance and urges higher milk consumption for public health.
