this was emailed to me recently. funny how little we truly progress in 2000 years.

"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

We should just go live on an island and start our own world.

* Brown creates the law
* Miller maintains that law
* Mazur drills for oil
* Chambers lives on a boat on the other side of the island
* Lee is creating nanoramogrific's from the local waterfall
* Kevin tries to sell us waterfront property
* Weiss then puts together crooked mortgage packages for Kevin based on the number of coconuts you own
* Williams mentors the local spider monkey population out from poverty
* I am quietly talking to each of you about the next big job on the island
* Faust is the local crazy after his iPhone lost its signal

A kid asked me once:

`Why do they say that history repeats itself?'

Because I am an ass and knew I was ill-equipped to answer the question, I said:

`What do you want me to write an essay or something?' (I'm a role model)

I late went back and told him some bs about Vietnam, blah, blah.

I wish I could have cited this quote.

Good work Marcus Arellius
