The history of our nation is filled with “conflict,” from Washington’s first Cabinet where they disagreed to the present. But our country always managed to rise above all the inner turmoil and become the leader of nations! We have the best Constitution ever written and the best form of government ever devised on the face of the world – from the concept of democracy in that ancient land where men like Aristotle said, “Democracy arose fro men thinking that if they are equal in any respect, they are equal in all respects.” The people speak through their representatives, therefore, we have no one to blame but ourselves for any turmoil we get into. Let us recall the words of Pericles who said, “We do not say that a man who takes no interest in politics minds his pwn business. We say he has no business here at all!”
