This election cycle has been eye-opening. I am shocked and ashamed of many of my fellow citizens and government representatives. This is 2017! Have we not advanced one iota since WWII or the end of segregration? Apparently not.
When I was in junior high several decades ago, the preface in one of my textbooks said, "The past is the key to the future". I thought that meant we should learn from the past and apply the lessons learned ... i.e., don't repeat past mistakes. But it seems very few people learn those lessons.
