By Ashley Herndon | We must counter corruption, inequality, false faiths and thievery. Fear is not a viable mechanism. Corruption is unsustainable as the wolf chases its tail. The snake will devour itself, so we must avoid the pitfalls of bogus populism. True populism is people power, not hateful corporate demagoguery.
Gwinnett Forum | July 19, 2024
“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.”
–British Philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872 – 1970).
