Eventually all things are known. And few matter. - Gore Vidal

Heroes must see to their own fame. No one else will.

Although we regularly stigmatize other societies as rogue states, we ourselves have become the largest rogue state of all. We honor no treaties. We spurn international courts. We strike unilaterally wherever we choose. We give orders to the United Nations but do not pay our dues. We complain of terrorism, yet our empire is now the greatest terrorist of all. We bomb, invade, subvert other states.

The theater needs continual reminders that there is nothing more debasing than the work of those who do well what is not worth doing at all.
