"Yet each generation begins anew to declare it’s science and it’s philosophy to be perfectly in line with what must be believed according to sound reason and perfectly clear vision." one_less
Very good point and completely in line with what Jefferson said. Binding, hypothecating and encumbering future generation comes with a very high price.
"We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country." Jefferson
Beneath, Between, and Behind
Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe
A wondrous dream came into being
Tame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chaste
All shining eyes, but never seeing
Beneath the noble bird
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once with heads held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?
Watch the cities rise
Another ship arrives
Earth's melting pot and ever growing
Fantastic dreams come true
Inventing something new
The greatest minds, and never knowing
The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished now
The principles have been betrayed
The dreams gone stale, but still, let hope prevail
History's debt won't be repaid
