Reader comments about this quote:

Yep, pretty accurate ! — oops, Rome fell; oops, the republican form of government at the laws of nature and of nature's God fell. Hope reigns supreme — here's hoping arrogance of officialdom may be set aside sufficiently so as individual sovereignty, inalienable rights and liberty may resurrect in the hearts, minds, souls and actions of the noble being, man.

"The arrogance of officialdom".....even the most free country in history (arguably) continues to cause or exacerbate problems in other countries under the cloak of spreading/spreading democracy and freedom, despite the lessons of history. And now, the current U.S. group have seemed to forget their primary and most important responsibility ....protection of their citizens at home from unauthorized foreign intrusion and criminal activity!
