[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Well that's a bit too grim for me, though the 20th century was certainly one for the Deists.

Based on it's history up to this point, I am beginning to think that later historians, if there are any, will picture the 20th century as a golden age of peace, prosperity and freedom, compared to the 21st century. With any luck at all, Hitler, Stalin, Mao-Tse Tung and Pol Pot will be remembered as relative pikers, compared to the future leaders of our time.

Thanks for the compliment, Dictator Sulla would have been right at home in our future history.

That tore it general. You're performance is convincing me you are really a contrarian optimist who thinks he can shock the human race (or at least FReepers who mistake themselves for members) into reconsidering their headlong thrust into oblivion. You're wasting our time.

You almost had me convinced you were more pessimistic than me. Nice of you to try though. I doubt these clowns have an inkling. God bless you for trying.

Oops. I had my Roman generals confused.

I'm no fan of Sulla. Sorry.
