They are all politicians and of course, that is their primary job. As a people, we just don't seem to get it and be able to see through it. We prefer to place all of our trust in their leadership and continue to believe that "they are our representatives" and they follow the will of the people.<BR/><BR/>So yes, even at our age, I have no doubt that we will see it all again in our lifetime. As the world gets smaller and resources become more scarce, as America has to struggle harder to keep its ridiculously large share of the pie, as we are willing to give up our personal freedoms and certainly as we are led to believe that more and more peoples across the oceans are devils and satans (those who have the resources we so desperately want)we will definitely be watching our grandchildren go do it all over again.expatbrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15162802048951658108noreply@blogger.com
