    Gotta be careful, here. "They" tell us Russia is the bad guy. Most people operate only from what they hear on the news or read in newpapers and internet. Can't trust any of 'em.

    One problem is us. Wonder why Americans are hated? It's because we stick our nose into everybody else's business....

    100% agree...I am in a position of I don’t control anything, but the decisions others make, especially politicians or who ever is behind the curtain, their choices can impact my life. So you have to pay attention, especially now.
