Let's Do the Time Warp Again
"He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation."
History is cyclical. At least in regards to the worst events and ideas. Over and over again humanity has succumbed to the inevitable entropy of it's own nobility. Our's is nothing new and certainly not special in it's own right. But we do have an original phenomenon on our hands. It would seem that our ever increasing thirst for instant gratification has brought with it an unexpected side effect. Not only are we reexperienceing the Tyranny of an earlier George from America's Revolutionary birth, but we are also getting to see the blind faith and ignorance of the Dark Ages and all that down home brotherly rage and bloodthisty hatred of the Civil War.
