We, the people are just that - people, and not all that different from those that came long before we did.
As a race (Man), yes, we are little different than those can came before; as one of *culture* we are WORLDS apart.
Those before were better (home) educated, more independent and had a greater affinity for critical thinking....”what’s your is yours and mine is mine”.
Today, we have ijits that sue for dropping hot coffee in their own lap, where a step ladder requires more warning stickers than steps and are more willing to sit on their ass and vote for ‘legal theft’.
Allowing the Socialists+ to indoctrinate for over a century did/does not bode well for our (lost) Republic.
