I figured I could test Chrislenn's theory and see how many views I get. Pardon him, Theodotus: he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Ceasar and Cleopatra" The true law of the race is progress and development. Whatever civilization pauses in the march of conquest, it is overthrown by the barbarian. Simms Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In the first stage of life the mind is frivolous and easily distracted, it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and barbarians, in which instinct has learned nothing from experience. George Santayana (1863 - 1952)
