… drunken crew that continue to stir the ship toward it …
Lord Acton, late nineteenth, early twentieth century, said: Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The USA being that self appointed absolute power in today’s world. 🙂
Note:
I am not knocking the USA, but sitting outside being part of a very small country compared, a country that has its own set of self inflicted nonsense, one has learnt to keep your eyes peeled, not to be fooled by politicians, with a media having a field day taking on politicians based on facts … a media that is held accountable if they report the facts incorrectly … like our nefarious state capture which has resulted in factual reports implication politicians, government employees, family groups, local and international firms, even auditing firms, all being taken on one by one, some has even folded, the FBI even investigating some activities linked to some of it in Texas if I recall correctly.
