Yeah, well, I'm not sure about everyone else, but I'm pretty exhausted with this whole shit show of a government. How's about we get on to the right thing?

I know the feeling. Today I am tired and discouraged. I can't give up but I don't know how to go on.

Winston knew so well what Americans were like.....

Unfortunately, it will come too late and too little. Now we even have to make up for lost ground.

If only that were true. What I've seen is that generally people, of whatever nationality, if they try something and it doesn't work, they try the same thing harder. It seems to take an incredible amount of difficulty for humans to realize that they were wrong in the first place.

The definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

I read somewhere that the longer you believe something on bad or no evidence at all, the stronger you believe it...even in comparison to things you believe based on more and more evidence over time. So it seems the things we are most certain about are the things for which there is little or no evidence, yet we have believed it anyway all our lives.

Yeah but he was a racist

It seems that way today!

If you examine our history, it's always been like that.
Every major advancement we've ever made has only come AFTER
we've failed at everything else surrounding it.

@KKGator And after quite a few people died, were maimed or such.

@Quarm Yep

well, for all Winston's genius he was also an elitist and a drunk. So I take his words with a pinch of salt.

All true. However, he's not wrong about this one.

But the man could turn a phrase and make it seem as if he had just made it up...rather than reveal he had toiled over it for hours the night before.
