Now it sounds almost like "Alternative World Theory" :

"...who joined with us on that day, in the bold and doubtful election we were to make for our country, between submission or the sword; and to have enjoyed with them the consolatory fact, that our fellow citizens, after half a century of experience and prosperity, continue to approve the choice we made. may it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings & security of self-government. that form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. all eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. the general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view. the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god. these are grounds of hope for others. for ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them."
--- Thomas Jefferson in his last letter , June 24, 1826 Monticello

so much needs to be undone now to get back to that sweet place of hope.

when we attain that sweetness, let us stay vigilant against interlopers.

nip the ugly cancer at the bud

allow no sanction

no proliferation

let flowers bloom under the blue sky

So much, much more...

... until next year.

A country is its countrymen and dogma to go along with it, if the population is uninterested in whoever is running the country its in, can you still consider it the same country it was a century ago? Certainly the banks seem to be rather apathetic about it.
