Remember, kids...
If you outlaw outlaws, only outlaws will be outlawed.
Or something like that.
I hate politics by slogan (unless the slogan is Believe! Obey! Fight! or Viva Cristo Rey!), whether on the Left or the Right (although it is probably worse when it comes from the Right, who should know better), and debate by bumper sticker, and that is where our political discourse is headed. Candidates debates are little more than bumber sticker exchanges. You could just imagine the candidate rifling through a stack of oblong papers, looking up and saying, "oh yeah! Well...wouldn't it be great if education got all the money it wanted and the Pentagon had to hold a bake sale to free Mumia...oh, wait, they got stuck together. Uh, the earth doesn't belong to us, it belongs to Chief Seattle.... oh, uh..."

I am a Roman, through and through (with enough Teutonic edge to make me close to insufferable). I want to remember our Triumphs!
Remember the Sacking of Carthage!
