We don’t.
We have a reached a point where those who would do what is wrong far, far outnumber those who would do what is right.
Until today, I had hope. Even in the face of all the gutlessness in the GOP, and in spite of our socialism Lite nominee, and after the republicans refused to even contmplate impeaching Kagan for her refusal to recuse herself.
I no longer have hope that we can save ourselves, so I’m withdrawing to take care of my family as best I can. Next week I will cease offering health insurance to my employees, and instead use that money to invest in land and other tangible assets.
Because this country is going to burn.
The one thing that keeps coming to mind today- we often don’t get the government we want but we will get the government we deserve.
We’ve become narcissistic and even worse > foolish (as opposed to wise). Our government reflects that. And that does not bode well for our future.
