excel, I am a very strong believer that this "evil" system must end and the return of our Lord Jesus will usher in the new system under His reign. That being said does not mean that we as believers should sit on our "laurels" and do nothing but wait for His second coming. Many of us could not do what you are proposing, which I commend you for, but there are things we as believers can do. We were all given gifts or strengths that we can use.
I agree with your take on the media. Sad how they are allowed to put a slant on a subject and lay blame. The Devils ace card is the control of free thought.
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." 2 Timothy 4:3-4
Will pray continually for you and your son and look forward to all updates.
God bless
