Someone please explain how much better life is in Libya since “We came, we saw, he died”.

Okay, my copy of "Paradise Lost" (yes, the Milton poem) is in storage, and the one online doesn't really entice me enough to read it. It starts out with Satan, who like Christopher Columbus was on a quest for the Garden of Eden.
Just to be clear, I have issues with good ole uncle Joe beyond the creepy stuff....
Back in January and February the news media took this straw poll as serious news.
Then suddenly it stopped being news.
Coincidentally, Bernie started dominating those straw polls at the very same time.
The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.
