Default Complacency, Apathy And Oblivion

In the natural order of things, it follows that complacency breeds apathy, and apathy in turn, leads to naught but oblivion!

Arrogance, that human state of mind which is sired by the acceptance of an erroneous belief in one’s superiority and invulnerability, has led many a former world power to the very door step of oblivion.

And buried deeply within this mental fantasy of mankind, one that has plagued humanity since it’s very inception as a race with superior intellect, resides the seeds of our own demise. A mass suicide, if you prefer, that like the proverbial lemming, has guided us to the very same precise that has swallowed up all of our aspirations in times past...

“When will we ever learn?”

VERITAS (Truth)

Well, today is Super Tuesday, which presents a good way to to show that we're neither complacent, apathetic, or oblivious.

Voting is more than a right...its a priviledge.

So far this Primary season, if 20% of the registered voters turn out, it is hailed as a record turnout. This is pathetic. Over the USA, 50% of adults over 18 will not even get off their lazy butts and register to vote....so 20% really means 10% of those that could vote.

Sickening.

Default Keith,...

You've got nothing to feel: "Guilty" about.
If any should actually feel guilty, it's politicos striving for leading their party's
power & control domination by attempting: "Recapturing The White" during wartime,
whom haven't even got a clue as to how making America come out victorious or even
survive this latest and/or Eight 100 Year Islamic Holy War,...DECLARED ON US & Free World.

Neil
