And take the rest of us with them.
Very true.
Though I have thought the "worm" was turning these past 20 years, other than the Reagan years, we have steadily moved towards the abyss.
I'm afraid we will be made to suffer a great fall before "the people" understand America must adhere to basics, like morality, honesty, loyalty, etc. etc.to survive and truly prosper.
Like the Boy Scouts' Oath, so to speak.
It's a shame we must learn lessons of life much like a drunk, who [may] finally realize, at his lowest point, that he cannot continue and pulls himself up out of the muck and mire.
Though it may not be evident here, I am an optimistic and life loving person.
