We have a very unfortunate tendency to idolize the very rich and famous, no matter what they did to become rich or famous.

Yes, Not Old. Tfg should be famous for having THREE government shutdowns in his administration. Why do we conveniently forget or minimize all those important facts. Tfg loves chaos. He is the darling of the media and I will never understand why. He’s not news. He is incompetent, corrupt and dishonest. Lock him up already because he will never even come close to normalcy. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/09/26/when-was-the-last-government-shutdown/70969554007/

EIGHT (8) government shutdowns under Reagan!! The "god" of the R Party (before tfg). How about that? The most ever...

Thanks, Gigi for that link.

I can remember what it did to the National parks. Trash everywhere and very unsafe.

What does that say about us - "citizens" who cant or wont even pick up after themselves unless there's a guard to make us? The kind of childish mindset that reacts that way.

Actually, its not just us citizens but tourists too. Seems to me you would want to put your best foot forward in another country, but guess not in too many cases. I have to admit after hearing about our ugly americans in other countries over the years - doesnt work that way.

Seeing the absolute idiocy of too many people around wildlife just makes me worry about all that ignorance.

I have never admired the rich and famous.

I do admire the ones that were famous, like Robert Redford, Meg Ryan who have used their wealth and fame to help those in need. I know there are many others.

It’s the greedy rich that I abhor.
