Pretty sure this next month, what led us here, is what they will be teaching the next generation about in history.
Put it another way, didn't watch any of the first half.
Something's transcend governments, parties, the decades. Our lifespans. There are many reasons for things. Sometimes the arguments are like stacks of cards. Each underpinned by something deeper, harder to avoid underneath.
The cards;
The individual's right to life.
and
Society's ability to protect it's citizens.
are right at the bottom. Right down there. Nothing we talk about comes close. Like the talk before the game. The window dressing of the house rather than the foundations you build on. New curtains! OMG!
If you think there's historically or philosophically any other reason given for the existence of goverment, society, infrastructure - anything you can see - I'm probably now going with that being understandable, as the odd generation in the past has made the same mistake, and lost perspective to a degree that baffles and worries people for decades.
We actually did this review once, last century? Were they wrong? Or did we just get waylaid? Allow ourselves to believe the lessons didn't apply to us, that the truths at the bottom had changed?
'Beware the card sharps!'
Even the flipping medieval townsfolk knew that much!
