15. I think Comey and Colin Powell biographies

Thu Jan 25, 2018, 05:21 PM

Jan 2018

will occupy the same catalog in history's bookshelf space, the one of "Those Who Changed History for the Worst".

They did not foresee any consequences coming out from their actions, and the devastation of those actions. We have not fully recovered from the one by Powell, and depending on what happens with Muller's investigation, it could be worst, but even if Muller is able to correct things, this one has already caused so much damage that undoing it will also be quite a task.

Small actions that have cause so much suffering and damage...if people could only "THINK BEFORE THEY ACT".
