“of my lifetime”

Problem is, I don’t have a reliable enough footing to believe the character of most individuals from history and I don’t really trust the version I’m told. I used to think FDR was one of the best, only to find out he was a lunatic tyrant who installed practically every major socialist system in the govt still rotting this country to this day.

So just in general, I have a seriously low opinion of them as a group & feel my grasp of them is unreliable. I would only be celebrating as a form of vague religious worship for the institution itself, which I find repugnant.
