‘Well, they vote these people in.
It says a lot about a people that they don’t like themselves.’
We didn’t vote Brown in as PM. America did vote the Dems in. America doesn’t like itself.
Exactly. And when you have a shining nation built on a vision like America is, and you can be talked into disliking it, or not be happy with it - it says so much about the condition of mankind.
I recommend reading the Screwtape Letters, which is a CS Lewis book about how mankind is deceived. Yes, it’s written semi humorously from the point of view of a demon, but even an athiest can glean much from it. Very enlightening book.
