It seems to me we never learn from our mistakes. We, as a country have demonstrated we do not possess the capacity to learn from the mistakes of other countries as well. I am at a loss as to why we must endlessly start more wars, lock up more non violent drug users, at great taxpayer expense, yet never quite figure out our failed policies are destructive. Even conservatives, who proclaim to want less government, less spending ect, turn a blind eye when their state representatives/senators attach huge pork projects onto critical bills. Is America destined to fall like so many empires before it?
