Dear Editor,
Are Red China, North Korea, Russia and Iran (four undemocratic totalitarian states threatening our Western way of life) spending/sacrificing their judicial, medical (especially mental health), administrative and educational resources, all huge financial drags on all this gender-bender trans fad nonsense, as the West is?
No! They are too busy focused on building their military, technology disruption, terror network support, and spying, dire threats to the West!
So pertinent now is 17th century-born French jurist Montesquieu’s:
“The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy.”
Yours,
