"we have met the enemy...
and he is us." I believe that one of the biggest problems the ignorant American public has is our own ignorance. On a daily basis I run across people who honestly believe the propaganda from whatever talk radio or FOX news pundit they are listening to. I am at times mortified at some of the things our elected officials say and do. I am convinced more and more our government is becoming increasingly feckless. So polarized that nothing of any importance or substance gets accomplished. Yes, racism is alive and well here in America. To quote a song: Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows that the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows
