The iniquity of the fathers
What sort of world will our offspring inherit? It is our duty to pass on this planet in at least as good a condition as we found it. According tom the bible our descendents shall suffer for the sins of our politicians.
Numbers 14
: (18) The LORD is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and
transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth
generation.

The census indicates our decaying society
ACCORDING to figures released by ABS drawn from the 2006 census, the census show that our median age has increased from 34 to 37 years, and the percentage of the population age 65 and over has increased from 12.1 to 13.3%. Fewer people now own their own home and mortgagees were paying an average of $1,400 per month towards the cost of their home, although the figure in Sydney was $1665. Hinduism was the fastest growing religion and there was a noticeable increase in the number of people speaking Mandarin or Cantonese at home. Buddhists make up 2.1% of the population, Moslems 1.7% and Jews 0.4%. A third of Sydney's population were born overseas and this is the highest proportion of any capital city (DT 28/06107).
Indigenous people now make up 2.43% of Australia's population. At the time of the census this was 455,028 people. A large proportion of the population failed to answer this question on the census paper so the actual number of people with Aboriginal ancestry could be higher.

How few men are strong enough to stand against the prevailing currents of opinion. Be prepared to stand up faithfully for right and truth, however the wind may blow.
