Ever ponder what a darn shame Russia and even much of Africa are.
Russia in particular.
Loaded with natural resources,
Intelligent, reasonably educated people.
All the things that build a strong, successful economy and nation.
Hindered by corruption, and a culture of poverty.
Africa, well, they have resources and a lot of people, and again
success is stopped dead by corruption.
Then look at our country.
What happened here to change our ancestors from serf to independent men.
Was it the accumulation of adventurers that came here. The sudden unnatural
condensation of that spirit that led to independence and the desire for everyone
to be free?
I think too much, and ain't smart enough to answer the questions generated.
