…no wonder we have the kleptocratic, anarcho-tyrannical “feddle gummint” kakistocracy we have. Massive ignorance (and shameful–WILFULL–stupidity) reign supreme in our society today.
Remember third world county’s corollary to Santayana’s Axiom:
“In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history are in the majority and dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance.”
More and more I’m convinced that truer words were never spoken.
Not just us – the whole world has these issues. Sigh. Doesn’t make it any more comforting to know that, though.
