Neither levelling of wealth or levelling of opportunity were possible at the birth of this nation, because the vastness of the undiscovered continent, its resources and oppty dwarfed the invading European population.

As the population saturates the country's resources, we end up with a crowded, repressive mess again.

Not until private exploration in a new frontier gets us far enough apart to allow liberty to flourish again will we see the next leaps forward in civilization.

IOW, we're just about done, here, I think!

[William McKinley]
