To: Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus
I am reminded of a reply to Kipling during America's attempt to pacify a reluctant Filipino people.

We took up the White Man's burden

Of ebony and brown.

Now can you tells us,Rudyard

How may we put it down?

It can be passed down by handing it over to the next “generation”. Just as Assyria handed the crown to Babylonia who gave it to Persia who gave it to Greece who gave it to Rome who gave it to Byzantium who gave it to France and Spain who gave it to England who gave it to the US, sadly it seems that now we are passing this to India (sadly because it’s accelerated under Obambi, though it’s good that the baton is handed to an anglophone nation)
