I often feel like that. If you look at the ideals of American independence and what they were fighting for when they broke away from the Empires, the principles of freedom and fairness and "justice for all" that it was founded on, it was truly inspiring. If the people who fought for that could see what became of their dream, what would that feel like? I can't even imagine. Seems inevitable now, though... a dream like that on such a scale was never going to work. Certain people were always going to wreck it with their greed and their lust for power. It's a history that's been repeating itself since the very first ancient civilizations.
