It is sad that only a few of us get this. Part of America’s problem is apathy and a lack of understanding of how the world really works starting with our own government. We are witnessing a form of genocide in this country. Unbridled greed and ego so rules, it may be impossible to reverse. Once the 99% realize it’s too late to make the necessary changes, we’ll all be doomed including the 1%. History shows that when a populace has had enough, they revolt. Thomas Jefferson actually wrote that it is our DUTY to do so to protect our liberties and considers it to “healthy” every 200 years or so. Let’s see, 1776? Do the math. We revere the founding fathers of liberty but we ignore them.
The Christian Bible predicts a time of world collapse and suffering. Not to open a can of religious worms here but perhaps we should be embracing our individual faiths more for the salvation we seek instead or relying on the follies and frailties of mankind’s leadership.
A similar dynamic to the end-phase of every democratic-based system of government since Athens; when the few learn how to manipulate the system for their own needs at the expense of the many,
George Santayana, in 1905, said: Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
I think it was JFK that said something along the lines of taking away the means for peaceful change (the first amendment) you guarentee violent change.

Apparently, we have forgotten.
