History

 time is a test passed

an examined past can change

our actions today 

"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 becomes bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." --- Cicero, 55 BC (Roman author, orator and politician)
