The Vietnamese Rice Farmer and the American Voter,Cir.1967/2008... I recall a time in 1967 when an American reporter interviewed a Vietnamese rice farmer,and amid the back-drop of a very vicious war,this reporter asked a very poingnant question."Do you realize that we are here to free you from Communist Opression "? "So now you may be free to make your own choices in life"! The farmer in reply said"I DON'T CARE,who is over their in the cities making THEIR government", "allI care about is growing my rice and feeding my family and that they are healthy,THAT'S ALL I CARE ABOUT !!!" It's very disturbingand telling the way that the American voter has come to exemplify this Vietnamese rice farmer. Apparently,by the outcome of this last election "We just don't care!" This is a very sad state of our current affairs, our Founders/Forefathers (with good women supporting them) would be completely appalled and devistated by the actions and apathy of this current generation of questionable voters.......
