Maybe we'll finally wake up and realize this country was not built on good intentions and is operating as intended.
Almost like it's on sacred Indian burial grounds.
I needed that chuckle. Thanks.
Nono, Americans made peace with the natives!
Trail of Tears of Joy
What was it before that, though?
Sacred Indian living grounds with a few burial grounds here and there.
Best I've been able to explain it is that it's a country build on hope and dreams, which are not compatible with reality and truth.
@Rooskie91 Almost no existing country older than 100 years is built on good intentions.
We had some that were. They either got crushed or usurped or lost their way and succumbed to the rot.
Doesn't mean it can't work, and doesn't mean we shoudn't try, but you know... Odds are slim, so don't beat yourself up if you couldn't do it.
