Common folk everywhere have more in common with each other than they have with people in power. The problem is that they are constantly fooled into believing otherwise. This is why our grandparents shouldn't be left out of this. All too often children are taught blind devotion to one's country, when in reality this means blind devotion to the leaders.
Things have gotten better though. We have elections and the internet. We can more openly sympathize and empathize and learn and hopefully this will make us all better together.
