Old Wisdom
If you have never read George Washington’s Farewell Address, you really should. Unlike the clowns who appear on talk shows these days, George understood what could go wrong, and warned against it two centuries ago.
In paragraph 17 of the linked version he describes the Hedgemony. He knew that if we weren’t careful this would happen, and he lays it out.
Paragraph 29 is a very succinct statement of why public education is important to the country.
In paragraph 33 he explains why the current state of US-Israeli relations is a terrible idea.
He told us this would happen, and we went ahead and did it anyway. Isn’t it amazing on how many points “liberals” agree with him, and “conservatives” do the opposite of what he counseled?
