Comments: How did we get here? Through vanity, my friend, vanity. In a fit of outrageous extravagance a vainglorious elite bought a fraud they couldn’t afford.
If anyone in that room had a bit of sense, they would have grabbed that club and taken three or four mulligans on him.

Now don't go all commie on me and believe in New Capitalist Man. I thought you were religious? Original sin and all that.
It's the whole point - that we are imperfect, stupid, drunken, vain, horny, lazy, undisciplined, mostly worthless, with a strong taste for gin, bad women and trouble. Add on hairless monkeys if you roll evolutionwards.
We will always either improve on what our forefathers leave us, or louse it up, or both, forever and ever, amen.
The joy and pain are in the fight, not winning it, which is impossible.

The author is being a little short sighted....
For me the world turned the day I heard, "Read my lips, No New Taxes."
....and it's been down hill at an ever increasing rate, since.
I'm not surprised, shocked, or disappointed any more. Just sad. Very, very sad.
