Reference:

My dear, even in war we looked better than we are today with our so called accumulated wealth. Have you noticed garbage in any picture. Today we cannot even sweep our streets.

That is what I call progress . A ; All we have added to these pictures is a larger population, period. Every other factor of social development has degenerated.

You know what, I feel sick looking at these pictures.  Sick and angry at our good for nothing, empty headed leaders, who have no iota of shame in them.  These pictures should be posted all over the National assembly and Aso rock.   How can a 50 year old be  more silly and  useless than when he was 3?
