#4  I remember learning that the Romans had four really bad emporers in a row and then Marcus Aerelious came along and almost saved things, but one great Emporer wasn't enough to reverse the decline.

I feel like that now. Reagan gave us an extra decade or two but we need another with such clarity of vision.

#3  The culture does seem to have a "Lord of the "Flies" or "A Clockwork Orange" air about it these days. The children are in charge with no guidance from adults.

#2  Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide.

John Adams, Letter, April 15, 1814
US diplomat & politician (1735 - 1826)
