We're small. We have to play aggressively. We can't back off because we're too little. We don't play the brightest by any stretch of the imagination. We just make some plays.

Charles Dickens

The American elite is almost beyond redemption. . . . Moral relativism has set in so deeply that the gilded classes have become incapable of discerning right from wrong.

It is they who have saved the republic from creeping degradation while their 'betters' were derelict.

Using this scientific principle, early hardy mariners were able to tell at a glance whether they were sinking!
