The education of our current leadership is wanting.
Here's another Powell quote:
"I will not surrender responsibility for my life and my actions."
Just finished reading "Rivers of Blood". That had to be a
popular speech at the time / sarc. Though I just heard of
Powell (through your tag line), he is/was a prophet or at
least a "see-er".
Another modern prophet whom I respect (Y2K and all), is
Chuck Misler. He predicted the fall of Europe and Britain
to Islam 25 years ago. He predicted Kosovo and ethnic
cleansing as well. Misler isn't mystical, he's just observant
and keeps his eye on trends and paradigms that are rooted
in Biblical future history ... er ... prophecy.
"All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal."
Powell (Rivers of Blood)
