THOSE WHO ROMANTICALLY GAZE INTO THE EYES OF HISTORY, ARE BLINDED TO POTENTIAL DANGER IN THE PRESENT

Many Americans tend to romanticize the checkered history of not only this country, but of their own past life experiences as well. Those who view LIFE unrealistically through rose colored glasses overlook or totally ignore the dangers which lurk in dark corners. There is a mighty fine line in being hopefully OPTIMISTIC and unrealistically CONFIDENT that current circumstances can change for the better, when the conditions that created the situation still exist. By what MEASURE and what sources do YOU use to determine FACT from FICTION; to separate the TRUTH from a LIE? Those who are negligent, lazy or apathetic in verifying and VALIDATING the accuracy of their informational sources can find themselves in DIRE STRAITS, in TOO DEEP to turn back.
