I’ve heard some people say right up until 1914 and the start of the First World War. I don’t think that’s accurate, but it has its pros. In this post-modern age we live in now is Western culture still at its peak?

Does that coincide with the high water mark of colonialism?

now?

although crime is beginning to swing upwards a bit from trending down for several decades

but then markets and economy is doing better than it was a few years ago too

so I guess it depends on your definition

Picketts charge



"For every Southern boy fourteen years old, not once but whenever he wants it, there is the instant when it's still not yet two o'clock on that July afternoon in 1863, the brigades are in position behind the rail fence, the guns are laid and ready in the woods and the furled flags are already loosened to break out and Pickett himself with his long oiled ringlets and his hat in one hand probably and his sword in the other looking up the hill waiting for Longstreet to give the word and it's all in the balance, it hasn't happened yet, it hasn't even begun yet, it not only hasn't begun yet but there is still time for it not to begin against that position and those circumstances which made more men than Garnett and Kemper and Armistead and Wilcox look grave yet it's going to begin, we all know that, we have come too far with too much at stake and that moment doesn't need even a fourteen-year-old boy to think This time. Maybe this time with all this much to lose than all this much to gain: Pennsylvania, Maryland, the world, the golden dome of Washington itself to crown with desperate and unbelievable victory the desperate gamble, the cast made two years ago; or to anyone who ever sailed a skiff under a quilt sail, the moment in 1492 when somebody thought This is it: the absolute edge of no return, to turn back now and make home or sail irrevocably on and either find land or plunge over the world's roaring rim."

Didn't the Canadian Supreme Court just rule that it's totally ok for your dog to lick peanut butter off your balls? That's indication to me that we're still climbing.

Pickett's Charge was one of the dumbest decisions in the history of American warfare.
