Yes, to which I reiterate that we are our own worst enemy when it comes to such matters, but that is because we keep hiring the same type of incompetents to try and run the show. Meanwhile, the propaganda machine keeps spewing out melodrama encouraging the morons to keep making the effort to foment change through force.

The more things change, the more they stay the same...
