Joe,
You are so right! Thank you for such a well thought post. I like those Gaelic Proverbs. Do you have a link to more?
I believe part of the problem is that a generation ago we were guided by folks that had grown up and lived through the last true tumultuous years in our nations history. My generation benefited from their wisdom.
Unfortunately my generation has allowed this mess to culminate and I hope we haven't lived our dreams to the detriment of future generations. I truly pray our legacy is not that our selfishness and greed caused the suffering of many generations to come.
This why it is more important than ever to embrace our history and not repeat past mistakes. Which it appears we are doing and this time America may no longer be a Democracy
