for thoose who listened in history class, after the civil war the goverment was turned into a business known as a politcal engine in which, a group of people were nice to just enough people to get there vote to stay in offce and the goverment didnt care at all about the people , it was just a way for a few inividuals to get in power.

Out of interest, on the 'just enough people' note, what is Voter Turnout in America like?

Is history repeating itself? I would have to say yes to a certain extent. In the case of discrimination and prejuduced? Yes. Rise and fall of world powers? Yes. With every rise comes a fall, and that law applies for the world and will forever. I believe that is so because of people. No group of people can ever believe the same thing, if we did life wouldnt be so interesting now would it? So yes, I do believe history repeats itself.

"He doesn't agree with me. Communist! Die! Die!"
"He doesn't agree with me. Terrorist! Execute! Execute!"
Yep, I'd say it repeats - though we have made SOME progress. At least a significant portion of the population is trying to stop the the third round of this...

If only The US Army of Good repeated the attempted invasion of Serbia by Austria-Hungary prior to WWI. I woulda pissed myself laughing at that one...

Well I dont think they(meaning the person) really meant repeating itself in that manner.
