“We are an unserious nation, engaged in trivial pursuits, in a deadly serious world.” Pat gets it!
We are the new Brazil....in many respects. De Gaulle said that “Brazil was not a serious nation” Brazil is always the country of the future...we are fast becoming the country of the past.
Tragic.
We are not the Brazil that De Gaulle talked about. We are Terry Gilliam’s ‘Brazil’, the movie.
Yes, tragic.
