Yeah, the similarities are all too close if people would bother to look at them.

Not as close as you're willing to admit.

But they don't want to see them, and so they don't.

Maybe they just don't have your odd-ball view of things?

62 years ago, when I enlisted in Uncle Sam’s Army, I ran into a few, not many, knotheads who were still bloviatingly refighting the Civil War. I was flummoxed that anyone could be THAT obtuse. Now, here, at this late date, some knotheads are STILL doing it. No wonder Hillary and her minions are still fighting the 2016 campaign. I sometimes am just a bit obsessive compulsive myself. But after 250 years?! Some people belong on the “Funny Farm”.
