In reply to the discussion: Oh my Goodness! Sales down because of cut in SNAP. [View all]roguevalley

I am discussing the inevitability of history. Our country isn't immune to the moment when people have had enough. My family was part of that four hundred years ago. I don't imagine that because we have tech that we are immune from our people snapping. Nothing ever changes.
My heart is big for the world. I do blame this country for sitting on its ass watching some of us starve. When that group of children grow up and feel ZIP for this country who didn't care for them when they needed help, I won't be surprised if the guillotines come out.
Just saying.
I don't advocate violence or arson but when it comes, remember me.
