And, once again, the world will have to wait until the discovery of new lands to build a new world composed of the strong and the brave and a government worthy of those same people.

The cycle of sloth and ruthlessness will then begin anew as we pursue collectivism once again.

The fault is not in our stars but in our genes - we escape temporarily the looters and the moochers only to find them within ourselves.

[Travis McGee]

Alas, Brave New Babylon
