“The only thing we learn from history is that we do not learn from history.”
Over 200 years ago a certain people were very upset that its laws were being made by a distant country. They rebelled and successfully fought a revolution to govern themselves.
Now many of the political descendants of that people celebrate that revolution but think nothing of dictating the laws and policies of other countries without the consent of the governed.
“The more things change the more they stay the same.”
