Adam Carolla and the Occupy Movement

A little while ago there was a big blow up about Adam Carolla going off on the Occupy Wall Street protesters. He had a lot of "choice" things to say about them, to put it nicely.

Here's the thing from my perspective - when he complains about today's generation being selfish, greedy, envious and expecting too much for doing too little, he's right on the money. The Bible at 2 Timothy 3:1-5 bears that out. People's attitudes today are exemplified in the greed, selfishness and the crass materialism in world society that keeps landing us in economic depressions/recessions every decade or so. Anyone who is paying attention to the world scene can see this.

However, it doesn't invalidate their message. The OWS folks are also correct and their critique of business, government and the system of capitalism as it is practiced today is on spot. The problems we face, whether from individual people or systems of government, organizations and businesses are all related to the hateful, corrupt, immoral and unethical behavior that the Bible foretold would signal the last days.

The problem as I see it is that neither side (left or right) is willing to understand the truth in the other side, which is what is truly sad.
