19. Are you familiar with this quote from a decade ago?

It's attributed to an unnamed Bush 43 senior adviser, thought to be Karl Rove:

“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

Some things haven't changed. But I agree with you, they must. Welcome to DU, markmyword!
