I've been talking with people about this.
This is a question that I ask myself, the why, what was it all for?
What was the reason?
What was the purpose?
Why did we dedicate our lives for that period of time to doing that?
And what I'll say is this.
One of the things that stuck out here was the blind patriot has long since died.
I think that's a good thing.
I don't think anybody should be a blind fill in the blank.
And I say that as somebody who earlier in my life probably fell into that category.
And I'm glad that the blinders have been taken off because blind people can be manipulated.
They can be told that things are true right in front of them that they can't see for themselves, mostly because they're not looking, right?
Because the blind patriot isn't actually physically blind.
They're blinded by their beliefs.
And I think that can be very dangerous.
It can be a beautiful thing as well.
I mean, you could probably change the world if you're blinded by your beliefs, depending on what your beliefs are.
But the blind patriot, I actually think, could be the most susceptible person
to manipulation.
So I'm glad that the blinders came off.
