Don't call it a comeback . . . .
Chalmers Johnson has a must-read article over at TPM Cafe entitled "Empire v. Democracy". To his excellent reading of Roman History we could add the Athenian example. What ever happened to American statesmen and women being steeped in the fundamental lessons of the Classics? Thucydides and Livy used to be required reading, but these days it seems that we have little more than a tyranny of the ignorant running Washington.

The views expressed in posts on this weblog represent those of the individual blogger writing the post in question, and are not those of any other person, living or dead or undead, real or imaginary, friendly or hostile, fictional or non-fictional, historic or jejune, natural or artificial, in whatever form of business association, or any government agency or official. Also, not the views of George S. Patton either (apparently, he transcended the preceding categories). Freedom from Blog is a free speech zone. Have fun with it, while it lasts. But try to keep it (relatively) clean, people.
Freedom from Blog is home to Number Three, who is not a Cylon but would like to be, and the tenacious one, TenaciousMcD, who may be a Cylon.
