As much as I try to distance myself from the political puppet-show that is our government, I listened to one of the related videos from that same interview
HERE where Powell has some very spot-on things to say about the two candidates.
It's difficult for me to give any one of them any amount of credibility simply because of the lies that are ordinarily offered to the public as truth. Even if they
are a patriotic, well-intentioned politician -
the lie is different at every level. I've personally encountered some
brilliant minds, that have several three-letter disctinctions after their name and they
vehemently refuse any such notion that our government is corrupt. (But they believe in a bearded dude in the sky sitting on a cloud-cushioned throne.) Contempt prior to investigation. Perfect examples of how thorough and effective the programming and disinformation campaign really is.
Politicians, sadly, fall victim to the same program. So this little tid-bit, like all the others...gets put into the same bucket of salt with the rest. Our vibration and personal evolution is of greater import.
