What I'm trying to say is in life we like to blame the government for everything. We see this all the time, people's own failings in life taken out on a particular government, because they make the easy fall guys, because politicians are greedy and selfish and squander and thieve our money. But sadly the people that elect those people aren't really much better, so I come to the conclusion it's a human trait. I include myself in that scorn as well. I often think if this country went to war, the people in it really wouldn't know what hit them, I wonder how some of them would even cope, no idea how I would cope, because being spoon fed most our lives makes us oblivious to reality, maybe we'd see skills we never knew we/they had. Think if I lived in Ukraine right now, with the freezing cold due to power all being knocked out, I'd lob myself off a bridge, but I suspect the fighter in me would rise above old age and excel in helping people who also can't cope. Helping others surive is the greatest motivation to keep going, and not giving up.
