“In the year 2040.”

Napoleon once told his Minister of the Interior that he wanted trees planted along every major road in France so that the French Army could march in the shade. The minister replied that it would be 25 years before the trees would be tall enough to provide such shade. Napoleon replied, “Then we must not waste any more time.”

By the way, the Interstate system was started in 1956 and it is still not completed fifty-five years later. Should we abandon it as a failure? Or do we recognize that certain things take time?
