I heard this on the way to wherever I was going this morning, and did enjoy it.
I’m still a bit stunned that all the talk about the Constitution, the Founding Principles, and history of civilizations these days. During the Bush administration and before, you’d really only hear about it from “militia groups” or on far-off wacko UFO sites like rense.com (was sightings.com in the 90s). Or you would have to be an erudite student of history.
Humans are the same as they were thousands of years ago, and our technology changes almost nothing in our natures. The Founding Fathers studied these thousands of years of human history and sought to never repeat its failures.
If you want to know where we’re at, look back to Juvenal, in 200 AD, who wrote this in SATIRE X:
(This is a rough translation by my rudimentary knowledge of Latin)
“… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses”
