Down the Niagara River

The way this country is going is very much like drifting down the Niagara River in a canoe, now knowing, and not caring that a waterfall that will kill us is waiting at the end. People (like me) are screaming about it, but the occupants of the canoe are not listening. They’re depending on someone else to paddle the canoe, but when “dying time” comes, ALL will die. Nobody knows that, and all they’d have to do is listen, but they won’t. It’s a “self-solving problem.” When they go over, nobody will be left to warn. Those who “pay attention” will be the only ones left. (Prof. Thomas Sowell)
