some things never change, actually...!
The sad realization is the following: people have very faillible short-term memory nowadays... Very much so... It's either that or they lack choices, which is equally sad, really... :(
Take Canada for instance; they grumble, they are disgusted... but they do not make the changes they could make... perhaps should make... (although, truth be told, their situation is not nearly as dire as the leader of the free world is coming to...).
The Liberal party has won a bunch of elections in a row now... Amidst scandals, controversies, unfulfilled promises from the very head of the party (also the source of the scandal incidentally... no, not the frankensteinish Chrétien any longer, but the dracula-ish, charismatic Paul Martin...!). :
People, perhaps, just don't give a damn?
Or, again, they have no other choices really...
What other party could the Canadian people have placed their trust in...?
The Conservatives? They had their streak... and, towards the end, it was terrible...
(Quite paradoxically, some peeps appear to have quite the effective LONG-TERM memory... just not the short-term... At least Canadians do! Must be the benefits of the cold weather...). The Bloc Québécois? Uh... next! The... the... what other parties do they have up there?!? (Well, at least they have got more than just TWO!!!). :)
Draw the parallel that is appropriate to the USofA's situation...
And... discuss amongst yourselves... ;)
Blessings!
