My girlfriend helped me to realize what my greatest disappointment is.
"Fool us once. Shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us all."
My error was in hoping that the American people could learn from their mistakes. It's obvious now that more then half can not and that number is just going to get larger as they begin to dismantle the systems which were designed to empower citizens and instead hold up those systems which profit those who follow the regime.
I wont make that error again.
