Western Civilization.

[AntiochusIII]

You see this is what in reality seperates the conservatives from the liberals. We know at what part of the cycle to quit and hold the status quo. If its not broke dont fix it.

Status quo is defeat; it is an illusion that will leave one to slowly rot into certain oblivion.

What have the attempts to preserve status quo in history brought forth? The Fall of the Roman Empire, the Fall of the French Monarchy, the Fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate: the violent ends to status quo.

Oh come on. Do you really think we want to go back to WW2 and a democrat in office for 4 terms? But I grew up in the 50s and Ill take it over today anytime.

Oh, so the reason you want to keep the status quo is because you hate Democrats, and may be liking Ike's years more.

Yeah, that's such a good reason for it, especially when I don't think Mr. King and his "ilk" enjoyed the fifties much. I won't either; my very un-white skin color would probably make me a repressed, depressed, and perhaps even oppressed person.

Im glad I didnt have them. Id be a shut in. When we played sports we actually used our bodies.

Oh, I wouldn't agree with you at all. Everyone's childhood is his or her best times. It's quite that simple.
