Interesting Quote about "Two Americas"
While this risks getting moved over to the Politics Forum, I'll start it here so more folks can see it.
This was a quote on a posting on another gun forum I was browsing at lunch...
I do think there's a lot of truth in that statement!
And while I don't mind helping someone get up on their feet after they stumble..................
There are indeed Two Americas.
Simply put, it is NOT the haves and the have nots.
The two Americans are in reality divided into...
Those who do.
And those who don't.
.......It's when they and their next-gen offspring don't do anything to help themselves at all, and they just continue to say "Oh poor me" and request yet another freebie or handout from me, a soup kitchen or the Government..................
That's when I get really pi**ed off!

Agreed, not political,no party is named. Just the truth, sadly. This country sure has changed just in the last 30-40 years.

Sadly my country too is afflicted by the same problem....

Re: Interesting Quote about "Two Americas"
What upsets me more is when one these unfortunates has found a way to lift them self up from 'whatever'.
You'd think they've seen the light.
But... no.
It's still my fault that all of their brothers, sisters, and ancestors didn't.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Re: Interesting Quote about "Two Americas"
I commend to you one of the poems of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, 1850 to 1919.
Wherever the white man's feet have trod
(Oh, far does the white man stray)
A bold road rifles the virginal sod,
And the forest wakes out of its dream of God,
To yield him the right of way.
For this is the law: By the power of thought,
For worse, or for better, are miracles wrought.
Wherever the white man's pathway leads,
(Far, far hast that pathway gone).
The earth is littered with broken creeds--
And always the dark man's tent recedes,
And the white man pushes on.
For this is the law: Be it good or ill,
All things must yield to the stronger will.
Wherever the white man's light is shed,
(Oh, far has that light between thrown).
Though nature has suffered and beauty bled,
Yet the goal of the race has been thrust ahead,
And the might of the race has grown.
For this is the law: Be it cruel or kind,
The Universe sways to the power of mind.
