“These movies belonged to the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries that period of great, unsustainable, and hedonistic prosperity, driven by the burning of Earth's reserves of perishable oil, which culminated in the False Tribulation, and the wars, and the plagues, and the painful dwindling of inflated populations to more reasonable numbers.” FirstsWarEarthNumbersCenturyPeriodsTwentiesPopulationPainfulProsperityOilDrivenBurningReasonableReservesPlagueTribulationHedonistic Book:Julian Comstock: A Story of 22nd-Century America Source: Julian Comstock: A Story of 22nd-Century America

“Past, n. That part of Eternity with some small fraction of which we have a slight and regrettable acquaintance. A moving line called the Present parts it from an imaginary period known as the Future. These two grand divisions of Eternity, of which the one is continually effacing the other, are entirely unlike. The one is dark with sorrow and disappointment, the other bright with prosperity and joy.... Yet the Past is the Future of yesterday, the Future is the Past of to-morrow. They are one-the knowledge and the dream.” TwoDreamPastMovingJoyLinesDarkKnownPeriodsSorrowEternityDisappointmentProsperityYesterdayDivisionImaginaryAcquaintanceFractionsMorrow Book:The Devil's Dictionary: The Devil World Source: The Devil's Dictionary: The Devil World

“Liberals correctly perceive the Reagan record as their most dangerous enemy. Why? Because what happened during the 1980s - prosperity at home the longest period of peacetime growth in this nation's history, strength abroad - directly contradicts every liberal belief.
