He worked diligently (if I'm to believe the documentary on his life) to bring about social equality and a system that won't leave the underprivileged in the lurch. But these were all local achievements and he is quoted as saying the only way to make any real headway is from “the top. That's why he decided to set his goals on the presidency. But look what happened once he got settled and was ready to get stuck into it. Stifled. I guess then that it doesn't really matter if they set out to rape the world (as Geo. Jr.) or if your heart is in a righteous place. To be a club member you've got to play by their rules. Sort of like organized crime. Did say “sort of like? I didn't mean to be so diplomatic.

No, I must be too young (haw-haw) to remember the hot water frog experiments.

Yes. Absolutely.

I smell a rat here, so-to-speak! You can't be much older than me, you don't look it, HT.

As for Obama, I fear you are correct. I'm sure he entered the presidency with high ideals, and determined to make changes for the better. How quickly the "system" suborn's a lone, idealistic individual, and "picks him off"...

Don't worry. Apparently you and I are the only ones visiting this thread. No one will hear you.

I wouldn't be too sure of that, HT! Whilst there are 1 or 2 folk on F.G. that have may have "selective", or "less than thorough" reading skills, most people seem to read most of the threads, and of course, we have the guest readers....:wah:
