Great quote, John. Quite appropriate. We should all post it somewhere conspicuous in our homes next to our property tax bills.
Indeed! Thanks for the comment.
Yep. The people very much asleep, or believing promises without verification of the integrity of who and what. That would be too much work…to become informed. Thanks John for the cazillion year old quote that unfortunately applies today.
People get furious over getting the wrong order at Starbucks…and yet won’t get off the couch to cast a vote and stop politicians from stealing from them. Go figure!
Thanks for your comment, Linda.
