81. This is what happens when the "leader" betrays the followers...

Mon Jul 8, 2013, 01:01 AM

Jul 2013

The loyalists and the independent, critical thinkers fight each other. The country and its people are more important than a leader who makes everyone hope for so much, and then dashes them and because people don't want to believe that they were had, continue to hope and prove their loyalty, and hope that he will truly be the president that he said he'll be. Never ever blindly trust people, you will get taken advantage of.
