Oliver Cromwell has been on my mind of late, the evil of taking a revolution of the people and crushing it, bringing more harm than the original system. Do the worst outcomes evolve from revolution subverted? It is,

Ledingham's second law: Revolution is easy, replacement with a better system is the more difficult.

...

Ledingham's first law: All people and countries act in their own self interest.

Ledingham's third law: Written law is not always enforced law.

Important lessons from my high school history teacher, Roger Ledingham, whose integrity was disguised by deep cynicism, and whose lessons probably saved me from a lot of nonsense.

Sometimes the un-faced truth about our sacred cows stings, we can only hope to change by honestly facing our past ... keep up the great work 🦋

I admire the desire of Americans to take themselves so seriously. But it is also hilarious.
