Also, human nature doesn't change, only those things that stop them from getting involved. As long as 'they' have bread and circuses (Supermarkets and Netflix), 'they' are not motivated by anything that requires a longer attention span than a catchy 3 word slogan. <br /><br />The Liberal Agenda sounds good and caring to those who don't think things through.

"</i> Agreed but where are the Whitfields, Wesleys, Wilberforces and Shaftesburys of today. In my opinion, they were the last people to bring about lasting, in depth change to the aristocracy and ruling leaders of the day, but as those leaders died, so the changes slowly reversed back to the <i>"greed, selfishness and immortality"</i> of today when we have plummeted to new lows.Alfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694719785236153072noreply@blogger.com
