Great man once said “there is nothing new under the sun”, in other words everything has been done before. I say this because much of the mistakes our leaders make can be learned from history without the people having to pay the price for unnecessary misadventures.

It sounded magical compared to where she lived, crammed in with a dozen people, sharing two rooms and a dirty mattress, and relying on twice monthly handouts of food.
