Then stuck it to us some more!
They have the playing dumb stuff down to a fine science. Many politicians (and other people) - do. It just got too easy to lie to us about
everything. Once they started they couldn't stop. It was just too easy.
And the lesson here is for us to never again become complacent.
Many of us have brain power that far surpasses the people
that we have elected to "lead" us.
It's a fantasy - this system of finding the best "man or woman" to take the reigns and trust them to do the right thing.
I hope as a species we start getting that and I hope it isn't too late to get.
