" I would love for a shining prince come riding in to save my country but because I am old as dirt the reality is it is not going to happen."
I think the really awful part of this is what I see as conscious manipulation of that exact hope and all the disappointed hopes before it.
I agree and understand why the hopes and prayers are in this, to much, to many years of being the serfs under them all. So many have forgotten how to be human and not be out to destroy or control others. All we can do is keep speaking and getting the message out..
