Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
But be careful of what is learned. I’m sure our leaders have learned much about abusing their power and how to do it better. Better ways to subjugate We the People. It doesn’t seem they have learned much good or we wouldn’t be having this conversation. We The People have learned, the value of human life, the power of family and community, that money isn’t the answer to everything, that “keeping up with the Jones” is not a worthwhile life goal, that all We the People are a needed part of our world and nobody should be automatically written off. This list goes on and on of things that We the People have learned in the last 250 years that none of the people who demand our vote seem to have a clue about.
The past is to be learned from, the good, the bad, the ugly and beautiful. Can’t live there or focus too much on it or trying to make it seem prettier or uglier than it was because you aren’t looking to where you are going.
Eyes on the road! Or who knows where we will end up? Probably into the same circle which appears to be a straight line.
