The world keeps turning, the BRICS alliance keeps making moves that leverage their bid to be the new superpower on the planet, and we are over here fighting over who a crappy beer put on their cans. There is a reason the rest of the world is not taking the US seriously anymore, the dollar is losing it's status as reserve currency, and we find ourselves in a lot of crosshairs. I will admit I got derailed a bit on this one, but it is what is on my mind, and I don't understand how we as a people are allowing ourselves to be lead around by the nose like this. It is manufactured strife and conflict that is completely unnecessary, if we would all just live by the thing we all learned in kindergarten, or at least should have. Treat people how you want to be treated. There are no qualifiers on that statement. Not people who look the same as you. Not people who believe the same things as you. People. Period. That's it. All the other garbage is irrelevant, so why the hell are we fighting over it? And leave them kids alone. Let kids be kids. Seriously, that shouldn't even be a talking point in all this crap.
