It is not a matter of diefication. They got most of it right, and we are just unlearning what they taught us so that we can all go and learn the same lessons again as if they never existed. That is political de-evolution in my book. I'd rather see us build on what they did instead of tearing it down only to suffer through the same problems in order to relearn things we already knew.
