The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected. G.K. Chesterton
Coppula eam, se non posit jocularum
Alfred E. Newman
"True love can make a blade of grass Stand up straight and tall. In harmony with the cosmic sea, True love needs no company, It can cure the soul, it can make it whole"
Looks like another appreciator of Whitman. Ruff!

Trouble with the Golden Age is no one paid attention.The Republic was wasted on the Romans. We've evolved past our shelf-life. Hunter-gatherers who occasionally ate their neighbors was our happy balance point in the evolutionary line.
Once agriculture came in, we learned how to be ants and collect slaves.
That statement sums up why I would infuriate right AND left wingers by claiming to be a conservative. I'm a conservative in the old old sense of acknowledging that we progress very slowly and can only move from 10K years of life as slaves/slavers very slowly, or else we retreat to our pre-agricultural comfort zone but, since we killed all the buffalo, the only thing left to hunt is each other.
Pray for the aliens! We need enslavement from which to set ourselves free! It's what we *DO*!
