“Is the human species capable of governing itself,” Helga Zepp-LaRouche asked in her webcast of May 27, “or are we on the path of potential self-destruction?” This question remains to be answered.

CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER

Have you ever been inside what they call a “fun house” at the state fair? You go inside, and the floor is slanted. The mirrors are wavy, balls appear to be rolling uphill, and you lose your bearings.
