Its just part of the human condition.

I won't get overly religious and tell you every aspect of my faith on these pages, but this example of human nature should be of interest.

God delivered the children of Israel from severe oppression and slavery, with miracle after miracle.. As soon as they had thier freedom, the first thing they did was make a golden calf to worship, instead of the God that freed them... Later on when they reached the Promised Land, they demanded a king to rule them, instead of enjoying the freedom the God gave them, and simply worshiping Him...
For whatever reason, it seems we as a species reject freedom and want to be controlled.. We have been doing it for thousands of years, and its worse now then ever.

AMEN!!!
