Do we need a History lesson?

       
Once upon a time, there was a nation with much debt and a crippled economy.  But there was a promise of economic recovery ...and the people had hope.  Another nation looked to their government for solutions ...and the government promised job programs and other economic relief.  The liberal theology in the universities were sure to not let the youth be deceived ...and they taught them well, at least well enough to muster a healthy portion of hate predominately towards the wealthy and especially the bankers.  The youth distrusted the wealthy and feared what those mongers would bring about, but as usual the youth were resilient with their search for new leadership.  

They had the strength and resolve as most youth do, and they realized they had 'evolved' to this point in time where they would have to rise to the challenge ...following the visionaries of these universities (institutions of higher learning?).  They did not want to isolate their followers, so there was no need to mention terms like 'survival of the fittest', and also absent was the future plans for the physically handicapped, the mentally ill, or the terminally ill.   Temporary and quick commitment  was all that was necessary, so it mattered not that real commitment was downgraded with alarming rates of divorce and commonplace abortions.   

At this time, another nation jumped in, showing full support.  But other nations still held an 'isolationist' view or 'hands off' policy.  The second nation decided it not best to honor their mutual benefit relationship with the third nation, but there are always other nations who are dissatisfied and willing to try something new.  Yes, that first nation was Italy, the second nation was Germany, and the third nation was Russia.  The temporarily 'isolationist' nation was the U.S., who after being attacked, then fully dedicated themselves to joining World War II   The superior race had a hard time proving itself at the Olympic game when Jesse Owens won four gold metals.  And though they achieved much of their terror, they eventually lost the war, though not nearly soon enough.  

How about reading this with at least two perspectives in mind?   Look at what happened then, and then re-read it and look at how many of those preliminary mistakes we are not only ignoring, but repeating today! 

Roles are different, some are reversed, but too many are way too similar, could we actually agree to ignore them or give a blind eye.  Many universities and other medias are leading us to a mentality of bringing us to the brink of repeating one of the most dire periods in our history.   How could we repeat this horror?    By listening to lies ...but the clincher is, who is telling the lie?  Having worked in a prison, I am very accustomed to lies ...I've seen them at their best.  And the ones telling the lies, were often giving a very convincing case that the others were actually the ones not telling the truth ...and they were loud and vocal about it, and very persistent.   But it seems like I am also, and my convictions have not put me behind bars ....and hopefully it will never come to that.
