Leonard Cohen sums it up perfectly in his song, “Everyone Knows.”
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows that the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows Everybody knows that the boat is leaking Everybody knows that the captain lied Everybody got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just died
My dinosaur of a computer will not let me listen to Cohen so i must rely on the printed text, but I can imagine his deep voice 'singing' these words.
Unfortunately for America, everybody DOESN'T know and they prove their ignorance almost on a daily basis. The U.S. may be one of the very few nations on earth that becomes less informed as the years go by. That bodes terribly poorly for this democracy. Terribly poorly!
