O Tempora, O Mores

Two thousand years ago, Cicero lamented the “times, the ways” of contemporary society, how decadent, how immoral they had all become. The Republic in ruins, Julius Caesar assassinated, Augustus taking over command of the government and the Senate in disarray. And now here we are, bemoaning, whining, pointing fingers at the fall of society as if we were the first to fail.

Don’t give up. Resist the takeover of our democracy. C’mon kids! Write, call, make your opinion heard.
