An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.
 --Plutarch

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason,
and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us 
knowledge which we can attain by them.
   -- Galileo Galilei
