It was interesting, watching Roosevelt on pbs about Teddy being the first USA pres to leave the country during his administration, and how he changed a lot during his time in office, focusing more on The People vs the powers that be as now it is assumed that that is how Pres's will be. Another turn in the cycle and again we are working trying to wrench power from the War Machine and Business Men to become morally and legally responsible for The People (too many capitalized words, sorry)
This country has not been in its current state and shape for very long, European countries also, much less Africa, Asia. It seems S America has had its countries be as they are the longest, continent wise. Which is a rambling way of saying change happens. Add in my cynicism and belief humans ability to manipulate technology far outgrew their ability to take care of the results of said technology or social attributes, and you get my view that humanity has peaked and is headed down.
