A Moment of Clarity

We spend hours everyday voicing our opinions, mostly to ourselves on Facebook, as if it makes a difference. We watch the fake news, we read the biased papers, and listen to the radio hosts who reinforce our points of view. That's how we stay informed. 

But if the chatter just stopped, if we put aside the heat of the moment, and thought in silence for a few memes about what's happened over the last couple of decades, we'd be hard pressed to conclude anything other than this...

We've lost our country and our voice in the world. We've been robbed of our future by scheming politicians (all of them) and crafty financiers (the usual suspects). In retaliation or by persuasion, we're robbing our children's children's children of their future by means of accounting ledgers because we've developed a sense of entitlement which is as boundless as the greed our "leaders" and their banker backers have repeatedly demonstrated by their bad examples. 

We're following the leaders.

Just following the leaders.
