I'm to live my life in Justice Peace and Mercy with you... even if the law says otherwise. But having said that, I'm with the Serge the YF: I'm not absolutist on it. I'm certain that some of my political views are not shared by all my brothers and sisters.

In honor of July 4, I am arguing that the parable points out what happens if good people do not get involved in politics, in fact, if they adopt the attitude that one's "vote" does not count and become totally cynical. As the parable says, they will end up with the bramble governing over them. Funny, I am planning on preaching this Sunday on a story from the Book of Judges 9, particularly from verses 7-15.

I'm not enthusiastic about the Libertarian candidate (a retread 1990s conservative) even as a token protest vote so I'll probably stay home.
