I’m shrugging my shoulders. Who was it that praised us with a warning that once the people figured out they could vote themselves non stop goodies, we would cease to exist?

Was it Ben Franklin? My brain hurts trying to recall!

I’m so frustrated that life is topsy turvy, though I am excited about our chances with Trump, the reality of everyday life and how screwed up things are, really gets me going!

It was the Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville.

I saw another more hopeful quote too.

The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults.
