But then it only becomes a problem when they are in charge.\n\n>Zimbabwe (former Rhodesia) is an example of what happens when the \"tables are turned.\" All the Whites simply left,<br> with their money and skills,<br> and the country went from being one of the wealthiest sub-Saharan countries,<br> to one of the poorest.\n\nLet's do a fun thought experiment; imagine for one second that America wasn't the might it is,<br> and got invaded.\n\nDuring the invasion your home is stolen and you are forced to live in a slum. \n\nThen 40 years later the invaders go; however there are still lots of civilians that come from the invaders' homeland.\n\nOne of them owns your house,<br> that you'd quite like back so you can give to your grandkids.\n\nDo you shrug your shoulders and say; oh well,<br> it wouldn't be fair now to take it back?\n\nOr do you say; I'd quite like that back now,<br> it was stolen from me and it's only fair it should be returned?\n\n[*Cg* (https:\/\/steemit.com\/@cryptogee)",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"poetry\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/steemit.com\/@cryptogee\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\" " |
