John was a prophet standing up to the corrupt establishment. What might we prophesy about today? Traditional moral values are in decline, at least according to half the American public polled in a 2009 Gallup poll survey. Thus according to the most recent statistical estimates 15% of wives and 25% of American husbands have engaged in extramarital affairs and between 40% and 50% of marriages end in divorce. We are irresponsible in our use of money. The Federal Reserve reports that 40% of American households spend more than they earn. Regarding racism, consider the summer 2011 unemployment statistics, indicating that while 8.1% of the white population was without a job, 16.2% of the African-American community was unemployed. A 2010 Rasmussen Report found that 4 in 10 Americans are not in favor of immigrant-friendly policies.
