28. Well, that seems to be part of the problem that I see coming.

There is a substantial part of our population that seem to want to go backwards... to try and recreate a former time in this country.

There needs to be more understanding that we have to go forward, not backward. Backwards will just lead us to the next regime that will use the unregulated greed-induced capitalism that is the state religion around here to get their way right back to where this current crop of animals are.

But, we US dwellers are very good at both not learning our lesson as well as ignoring it. And, we seem to also really hate change. So, I am not exactly holding my breath for the upcoming 'changes'.
