C,

<<Again, you reveal yourself as a "Christian" but not really a follower of Jesus. >>

Jesus would not waste His time trying to rehabilitate this corrupt and doomed system on earth just as He did not when He was here on earth before. You confuse His compassion for people with politics. Jesus wants us to be "translated" from death to life by accepting His salvation. By believing in Him. Then you will participate in His perfect system of government in His kingdom which He will soon establish. I am a follower of Jesus. I am a stranger in a strange land (to borrow from Heinlein). That's what christians are. Paul said be in the world but not of the world.

BTW I was reminded by one of your posts of an obscure but really good book which has been popular in Europe but not so much the US. It's "In a Dark Wood Wandering" by Hella S. Haasse. It's set in the middle ages. I really enjoyed reading it.
