Default a wise man was heard to say

If you build a better mousetrap the world will beat a path to your door.
America built a better country, and for close to 250 years the world has
done just that. Unfortunately, what America used to stand for is fast
becoming a dream. This country was formed , partly of course to rid the
general population of gov'ts that were oppressive and the rights of the
individual were ignored. Our constitution tried it's best to help make
sure we would have a better world, and for many, many decades this was the
case. It was the reason the world beat a path to our doorstep.
Unfortunately, as is the case throughout history, in a democracy the
people soon learn that they can vote themselves in certain freebees, paid
for by the gov't. As time goes on there are more and more people voting
themselves these freebees, and less and less people providing for the
takers in society. We are now looking at the U.S. being on the verge of
becoming the socialist society that we tried so hard to leave behind. The
more we vote to let the gov't control our lives and take away our personal
freedoms the closer we get to a stalinistc, socialistic and communistic
society. My wife and I have had a good life and will survive what the
future brings. We can't help but feel sorry for the young people in this
country that have no idea what they are getting themselves into.
