"We are permanently the United States of Amnesia. We learn nothing because we remember nothing." -Gore Vidal, "The State of the Union," The Nation, September 13, 2004.
(What I've said for some years. I didn't know there was a famous quote on it).
Gore Vidal, October 3, 1925 – July 31, 2012, rest in peace.
