Perfect Circle

OMGosh, y'all. There are no aliens. There is no Big Foot. Ghosts are not real. :casty:

You'd have a much easier time convincing me we are being visited by time travelers from the future.

This why it is so hard to break the establishment; the Party's approved candidates have access to the Party's money. The voters are uneducated, and will pull the lever for the name they see and hear the most in ads.

Unfortunately, the American voter is dumb, and will vote for whoever's name they hear the most and face they see the most on TV.

In order to achieve that, lots of money is required. The party provides their handpicked candidate plenty of money.

What? No LSU garb?

I help run a program for disadvantaged youth of "a certain demographic." We give them nothing, but try to teach them:

A) Stay in school, and enter a training program there, that provides training and internships at local industries. These programs are offered at our local high school.

B) Don't have kids until you're married and can provide for them.

C) Don't break the law.

Our research has found that if these kids can do these three things, they have a much greater chance of success in life.

There are victories, but there are many failures. The simple truth is, that particular demographic doesn't place much stock in those three things.
I would add, all of these kids still live at home with their mom (dad is often around), or grandmother. NEVER do the "adults" bother to show any interest in any of our efforts. They are just happy to get them out of the house for awhile.

The world is unjust, but many bring it on themselves.

NATO is a defense pact against the old Soviet Union. It lost its reason to exist when the USSR dissolved along with Warsaw Pact.

Al Jazeera being more truthful than our own media. :casty:
