End of an Era

Ends quietly in the middle of the night. Who knows whether we'll ever summon up the initiative to return.

We are lesser sons and daughters of greater sires.

Their idea of patriotism was to build and explore and create a better world for the greater glory of America. Our idea of patriotism is to crash the country, and try to figure out a way to profit from its demise.

Our children will despise us when they learn what we've done.

Well spoken StonyPillow. I think it was Neil Armstrong who said that they reached the moon by "standing on the shoulders of giants". He was of course referring to the men and women who dreamed of a future that knew no limits and then worked tirelessly to get there.

We're currently ruled by midgets and we'll never touch the star by standing on their shoulders.
