3. "today everyone knows better" - problem is, they don't . . .

some are just plain uninformed, others cling to the vitriol spewed out by our governments;

many are just plain stuck in their ways, - and so on . . .

I for one believe that JFK's demise and 911, among other events,

were designed and happened under the control of the PNAC/MIC gang et al.

When the USA stops bombing the World, gets a grip on gun control, takes care of it's own citizens via job creation, healthcare, income security for old age, housing etc., - I might take a different stance as to my opinion of the USA.

Be clear - I am talking about the powers that be, not USA's citizens -

I like the people, dislike the governance with a passion.

Not happy with my own government much lately.

(sigh)
