Down through the eons of time, empires, dynasties, and eminent civilizations have achieved great heights, and then come down like the salmon leaves of autumn, brought low by the same troublesome human nature that has hobbled mankind since Cain cudgeled Abel. Learned philosophers and renowned historians have devoted their lives to the study of these events, producing ponderous, voluminous anthologies which grace the shelves of celebrated centers of higher learning all over the world. And today, when similar behavior threatens our own aspiring metropolis, we scratch our head and wring our hands and wonder what the hell happened. The modus operandi for these crimes against humanity have changed little through the ages. These failures of civilization are inevitably the result of misinformation, disinformation, and a ruthless bastardization of the truth. SC
