That's OK Charles. If you lack the education I can explain it to you slowly...
That's NOT "ok" Albert. That of which one is unaware because their eyes simply have not seen it does not negate its existence. Indeed, it has
always been "the unknowns" [read:the not understood things] of human experience that have consistently thwarted our security and our progress.
We're not just speaking of politics here, but of every aspect of the human condition. There was a time when what seems so common place today
was not. There are things considered "obvious" today that were not so obvious only a few decades ago. Simple things. Concepts like: "How germs
are spread." These were huge BREAK THROUGHS then, but are within every common man's knowledge today. However, THAT they were then unseen,
unknown, and tiny [seemingly insignificant] did not negate the fact of their own existence nor did it mitigate the effect of same on our own existence.
Germs devastated Europe, North America, South America...everywhere --- BEOFRE they were even conceptualized!
Indeed, the recondite always trumps the obvious.
