I never thought I would say that. How many times in school did you ask the adults, or your friends, "why do we have to study this old stuff ?" Than as a parent, I would explain to my children, that the study of history helps us know how we got to be where we are in world today. Additionally it was a way to learn from mistakes in the past. To see the warning signs and plot a course to avoid them.
Well the kids are right. It must be while they are young and fairly innocent they instinctively know the 85 percent rule is true, and that most of the 85 percent dumber than rocks and the 5 percent dumber than the 85 percent, govern us.
Because we not only repeat history, but we rush to it. We build shrines to stupidity and worship at the alter or mediocrity.
Most of the industrial world is in financial trouble or difficulty. But until I buy back my God like powers lets focus on America. We have several trillion dollars in debt, pretty bad unemployment and the thing not spoken off, massive under employment. And less you think that doesn't matter, under employed people do not buy vacations, SUV's, or the latest I phones... ( unless they are dumber than the 85 percent)
President Obama put forward a plan for starting back to recovery. Not a perfect plan, but a plan.
The republicans refuse to raise taxes, or return taxes to a point before the year 2000. We are in debt up to our grand children's eye balls, ( we have been under it ages ago) We need taxes people !! Not new taxes, just return the old ones. We need to cut spending, so let me harp on this again...cut out the fraud in the social programs...just cut out fraud.
I have to be honest, I don't care about the debt....any country that wants to collect, let them try.
You want to govern the United States... more power to you China. But I do want the jobs back.
The regulations which need cleaning up, stream lining, and removal of out dated or duplicate rules, these were put in place because private industry will NOT govern itself.
Get that real clear in your minds, the republicans in favor of removing regulations are insane. Private industry will not govern itself. They will make what ever profits they can while resting there feet on your dead body. Every depression, major recession in the US was caused because private enterprises, got stupid and greedy and were not check by rules. Every front page industrial accident is traced back to industry taking a short cut to increase profits. Banking industry giving out loans that they KNEW, were poor risk.
It would appear that history does repeat itself since we as a species are so stupid. So republicans don't want taxes to pay the debt and don't want regulations to protect us from the very entities that got us into this depression ( its not a recession)
The children are right the study of history is a waste of time
