Thought for the day
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be
refilled,
public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be
tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should
be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to
work, instead of living on public assistance."
- Cicero - 55 BC
So here it is. What have we learned in 2070, years?
So, evidently nothing.
Remember: if you don't learn from history you are bound to repeat it
