28 years ago I did know that the Bush family was evil. I knew that Reagan was a front man for policies that he did not understand.
I knew 27 years ago that Bush/Reagan had traded with the enemy to influence an American election. I knew that Reagan's, "voodoo economics" would destroy the lives of the middle-class. I have been skeptical of everything a republican proposed since Nixon was in office, yet, none of that prepared me for just how corrupt our government has gotten. Our government and our culture.
I knew that many were fooled by the pipe-dream, that was Reaganomics. But I was unprepared for a whole generation of Americans, who accept laissez-faire capitalism on faith, without question.
You are right about sunshine. We need lots of it.
Americans are under-educated and ill-informed, and proud of it.
