Yes, when the individual is nothing more than an expendable for the good of the masses, then we have a rerun of the most ghastly moments of our history.

Won't touch on your views about who all is currently in power, but I will commend the people of The USA on having a 50/50 split among the voters opinions (shown in the last elections) and yet there is no upheaval or violence in the streets.

The worst I saw was some yelling at some gatherings.

Unlike many other democracies in this world, this is something that should be stated and shown as an example to the entire world.

God bless you Crescendo of Peace. (dare not use the acronym COP hehehehee)

Cheers.
