LETTER: Never learning?
Dear Publisher,
"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it," Sir Winston Churchill.
We are bombarded daily with very divisive class warfare demagoguery, especially from our President. Throughout history, regimes have put forward classes or nations or races as the "enemy," blaming the "enemy" for all the ills of the regime in order to divert the masses from the real problems that need to be faced and addressed. Of course this appeals to those who want to blame others for the condition they find themselves in.
