Mercy is perhaps the most important gift that God gives us. He knows that we transgress and through His Son's sacrifice he shows us His boundless mercy. Therefore mercy should be among the greatest of virtues that our society exhibits. Unfortunately in 'modern' 'progressive' America mercy is in short supply. A couple of examples:
A friend of mine is an investment advisor. He reached out to help a fellow advisor who had been cast out of his prior firm for a single violation of the regulations that most of us would characterize as minor. My friend being a man of boundless Christian mercy and love fought to have him taken on at his firm's broker dealer. After initial success, his broker dealer, fearing an increasingly vicious and vindictive regulator denied this young man's request. He has four children and a wife and no one will show him mercy because a cruel and indifferent state has decreed that the investment industry is 'evil' even while Federal employees enjoy wages twice that of the 'proles' who support them.
I have friends who work for TALX. TALX provides online automated reporting of certain employment relevant 'legal problems' and serves virtually all major employers. Its business success coincides with (and indeed relies upon) a time when 50 million Americans - one quarter of all men - are deemed 'criminals' by our government - a proportion unprecedented in any nation in the history of the world. So not only has our 'progressive' state marked a quarter of all men as defective, it's agent, TALX makes money ensuring that the state's scarlet letter haunts them unto the end of their days.
Cruelty and mercilessness. The hallmarks of the 'progressive' state. God help us all.
