Michael, I was born the year before Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president. I am old enough to remember World War II. And, I might add, despite my age, my mind is quite clear and my memory is very tenacious, thank you.

I have heard this nonsense about how the Rockefellers, the DuPonts, and a number of others were (are)—although the cast of villains has changed over the years—going to take over the world and enslave us all.

Seven decades have passed and it hasn't happened.

I am reminded of the many times I've heard that the End of the World will occur on such-and-such a date. The date comes and passes, and lo! the world is still hear. It doesn't stop the same people, totally unembarrassed by the fact that they still exist in mortal from, from shrugging their shoulders and setting another date a bit further forward. Then again. And again. And yet again.
