The more things change, the more they stay the same

NEW PASSION ALERT! NEW PASSION ALERT!

Lately I have been rather interested in Roman history. I think it's amazing how an empire that existed for more than a thousand years could be brought down by poor leadership, religious prosecution, the development of roads (which introduced new ideas and religions) and a few Visigoth who wanted a piece of the action.

Hmm...Replace the Roman interstate with the internet and Visigoths with corporations and things seem rather familiar.
