BEST QUOTE OF ANY ERA

"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 will become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance."
- Cicero, 55 BC . . .

So, we've learned sweet NOTHING over the past 2,071 years!

Nope. I wrote about that here some time ago, but misspelled "Roman Empire" as "Ronam Empire". As I'm sure you guessed, no one saw anything but the misspelling.

I was comparing the fall of that Empire to the current conditions in America and showing the similarities as a warning. The only thing anyone leaned from that, is how NOT to spell "Roman" - which coincidentally - showed WHY we are in such straights.

Shallow and narrow minds, will sink the strongest ship every time. Personally, I'm tired of having my ass drug across the shoals, by i***ts talking about kinder, gentler Nations, thousand points of light , yes we cans and other stupid catch phrases.

Wisdom is the ability to realize that the quote posted, is completely out of context with Roman times.

And conservatives continue to prove why Trump speaks to you at a 4th grade level!

As I recall, I read your post, and although I didn't respond, I got the message. I missed the misspelling. Misspelled words and typos are common these days. No big deal.

Any intelligent person would have recognized immediately , that the quote you posted, as not being said by Cicero! And your excuse is?

What's your excuse for being such a dip-s**t, Rat?
Some one who hasn't figured out who is doing what to who?

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 will become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance.

Raylan Wolfe, You portray as an intellectual; but in actuality, are pretentiously arrogant.
