Civitas ad infinitio

Ancient Rome accomplished unsurpassed infrastructure of civilization, and we began our country with the same desires in mind. But Rome ruthlessly crushed all who stood in her way without regard to life or liberty, and its soldiers were encouraged to pillage and rape the frontiers just for R & R. For most people, that was a more unpleasant way to live than using an outhouse. They had clockworks, astronomy, elaborate roads, naval power, and they were almost onto steam power with a little toy they had. If Rome had assimilated the eastern number systems, she probably would have developed engines, rail, electricity, and very quickly, nuclear power.

So whether you believe that Jesus Christ was God's incarnation or not, if he hadn't come along when he did, we wouldn't be here. What's important is the message of peace and redemption for all people, and of our free wills that no person or country can ever take, even by death. We can all learn to live in a world without fighting.

I believe we are blessed by the love of God, the all-god who is the is that is, regardless of our names. God is a kind God who does not want to scare us. Let us not attempt to scare God, for with the powers we will discover, we would become a fearsome rage upon the face of the stars themselves, and blot out them and ourselves into nothingness. That's not what we want for America or the world.
